“This is completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.”

Obviously they want to make an example. They'll drag him through the mud in court, reveal that he was sexually deviant, claim he cheated on tests in school, played video games, played d&d, worshipped Satan, on and on. Then, when they've dragged the court out long enough to bore people, they'll execute him publicly and call it justice.

They won't epstein him, too obvious and likely to generate martyrdom. Killing him like a "common murderer" shows that "the system works" and that the machinery of the state's actions are natural and inevitable.

Or maybe they'll try to just lock him away forever and get him to write some books to make the prisons a little more money. Works for serial killers, and sales of "How to murder a CEO" will help to defuse revolutionary sentiment by recuperating the murder as an exotic one-off situation. He's gonna get simple-ricked.

You think they'll put him on death row?
