    I can’t help but think that many of the people who gave money are convinced he’s guilty, but think that the CEO deserved to be killed.

      If a man kills a serial killer in the middle of a spree, is he a murderer or a hero?

      Of first degree murder? Perhaps.

      Domestic terrorism? Fuck no.

          What?? An attorney’s job is to convince others of your client’s innocence, not think of anyone’s guilt. Anyone can think he’s guily or innocent.

          If they had a case, they would have to cheat so blatantly.

          • The made up snich.
          • The prosecutor withholding evidence.
          • The media spectacle to taint potential jurors.
          • The officer turning on their body cam on after handling the backpack for a few minutes and then “finding” the gun and manifesto.

      Why him particulary? Countless persons are in the same situation without having their legal defense crowdfunded.

    That’s not counting his family fortune, either. Must be nice being born into riches, getting a nice degree and cushy job, all just to throw it away.

    I don’t understand why people are mobilizing for him. Maybe he will be found guilty of be wrongly acquitted, both possible case where this crowdfunding would be dirty money.

      Death penalty cases drag on long and if he gets acquitted, I have a feeling the money will go other people’s legal funds.

      He is being held accountable, if he did it.

      The bad news is he’s dead, you can’t hold him accountable. The good news is his justice was already served. We’re talking about the evil CEO right?
