Title. It seems like the police just chose a random person to have someone to prosecute.

He may have pulled the trigger but Brian Thompson loaded the gun
I don’t have an opinion on if he was the shooter. I do have the opinion that the shooter is an American hero though.
No I don’t believe he is the shooter, even if he is the shooter he should be found not guilty. Those CEOs caused millions of deaths with their denial claims, that man got what he had coming "unfortunately. "
I believe he deserves a presumption of innocence as is his constitutional and human right.
Can’t be. I was with him at the time of the murder.
Me too! What a great time we all had not doing murder.
I believe he was the shooter, and that he should be found not guilty.
Unlikely, but there’s always jury nullification. Which I just realized would be recorded as a “not guilty” verdict, though the implication is “he did it, but we think it’s OK”
iirc jury nullification doesn’t always stick because they can declare a mistrial if it seems fishy.
Call me jaded but I am not predisposed to take the NYPD at their word.
People seem to forget about the innocent until proven guilty part, the raw amount of perjury with the theater surrounding this person is mind-numbing. If he makes it out of this he will be come a billionaire out of defamation alone, almost all mainstream news sources treated his guilt as a foregone conclusion with barely an “allegedly” in sight.
Probably, judging from his responses, but the courts can figure it out.
Not guilty regardless.
No, but it doesn’t really matter. The government has selected its scapegoat. I just hope that the jurors understand what jury nullification is before they go in. Gawd knows the courts don’t want anyone funding out.
Likely him IMO. Very unlikely that they’ll be able to go through a highly-publicized trial with broad support for him and pin the wrong guy, so my general attitude is “let’s see what happens”
That’s exactly how I feel.
Doesn’t matter. He did nothing worth punishing in any regard.
Whoever it was is a hero
Anything is possible
No
