But you say extreme action is not the way to fix it. I mean, what other way is there?
I don’t think I’ve said that. What I’ve said is that juries returning “not guilty” verdicts when the facts of the case say otherwise, just because they feel positive about the accused’s actions, would be a problem for the reasons I’ve listed above.
I too hope he is found not guilty, but on the facts of the case. Whether that is because the defense manage to cause doubt as to the identification of the shooter, or they manage to make a case for diminished responsibilty or self defense, it would be ok. Successfully making a self-defense defense would send a very strong message to other CEOs.
