Bit optimistic that this will get to a trial.

My money is on an accident in a cell.

The cynic in me will also point out that they don't actually need the real killer either. Any random person resembling the pictures will do.

They falsely convicted a guy using "teeth marks" psudoscience BS.

Who's to say they wont also do it for a high-profile case?

That would be awfully risky if they didn't already have the real vigilante in custody or on a slab, at which point what's the point of having a fake?

Like imagine if they announced they caught him or shot him and then the real guy targets another of the bastards?

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

They'll just blame it on a copycat killer and start arresting any one who walks on the same side of the street as a corporate CEO

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

For once in my life, I'm looking forward to copycats this time.

Dude merc'd a demon and got celebrated across the nation. Paradigm shift stuff.

"He stabbed himself in the back multiple times"

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 4 points 4 months ago

I don't think so. Epstein was a very high-profile person. This guy isn't. There's no secrets he can spill. I think if he dies under suspicious circumstances it'll be suicide by cop.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

If that dude gets on the stand and tells a sob story shared by millions of other Americans of watching family members die due to insurwnce companies denying coverage. There's a non zero chance things get spicy.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 66 points 4 months ago

If he is caught there will not be a trial

[-] m4xie 51 points 4 months ago

He'll kill himself while both his guards take their break on the other side of the prison and the camera temporarily malfunctions.

[-] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Or be killed while "resisting arrest"

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

They would just say they found his dead body

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Probably but they should be careful about martyring this guy now

I dunno... some days I feel like one of a dozen people that actually remembers the Chris Dorner week. People have a very very short, selective memory.

Did something happen to Chris Corner? I love the Sneaker Pimps! :(

Thanks, that was a pretty crazy read, I guess I wasn’t paying mich attention in 2013

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 months ago

They will just claim he was armed and shoot him on the spot

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 13 points 4 months ago

If this comes to pass, I hope it results in riots.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

If they're not careful, they'll have a much, much larger LA Riots situation.

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 35 points 4 months ago

I am under the belief that there was no murder and he had a preexisting condition of lead poisoning. As such, we unfortunately do not cover these kinds of conditions in our penal system and his claim must be denied.

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 17 points 4 months ago

If they find him, the jury WILL be hand picked to be the biggest bootlickers of all time.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Juries are always hand picked. Having an engineering or science background, having out spoken political opinions, or expressing a knowledge of Jury Nullification are red flags on good days. Lawyers are only trained to deal with influencable types of people. If you want to be selected, be the type of person who watches and believes advertises.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

If they ever find him, the cops will gun him down

[-] capital@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

[X] Doubt.

Y’all live in a fantasy world.

If they find him and if he makes it alive to a jury trial, I think there’s a good chance he’s convicted.

*democratic immunity

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

12 Angry Men 2? This movie sucks.

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Especially since there aren't twelve billionaires who would feel safe showing up together to sit on his jury.

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

They'd be biased too, so one way or another, it would be one hell of an explosive story.
