      He was a despicable piece of trash who denied healthcare to thousands of ordinary folks, causing untold suffering, family bankruptcy and suicides. All just so he and his shareholders could squeeze a little more money out of everyone. But unfortunately that doesn’t count as murder.

      Oh, you didn’t mean Brian Thompson? Either way, Luigi did nothing wrong.

        I always refer to the healthcare CEO (he doesn’t have a name, Luigi does) as a Corporate Serial Killer, which is exactly what he was.

      Because the state hasn’t proven he is. The evidence we’ve seen so far seems pretty flimsy to me. Luigi’s defense team filed a complaint that showed extremely poor chain of custody of evidence, suggesting that certain evidence isn’t valid or might be a setup. The cops have been real weird about it, using the high profile of the case to self promote and make a spectacle of things in the media. I think there are reasons - aside from the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven - to think this guy isn’t just a murderer.

      Imo he’s absolutely a murderer. I just happen to support his choice of victim and motivations. I kinda feel that in some circumstances murder is beneficial to society, and this is one very rare example of that. I hope they let him out and he does it again.
