    I wasn’t even thinking of them playing the terrorism card but here we are.

    various charges, including first-degree murder, and two counts of second-degree murder

    How does that work?

      It’s the new “3/5 Compromise”: normal people are worth 1 person each, but CEOs are worth 3.

      I get a lot of courtroom videos on my feed, and it seems any time someone shouts something aggressive they tack on a “terroristic threat” charge.

      could they be trying to scare him with the amount of charges into accepting a plea deal. I doubt they want this going to trial.
