Problem is if they do catch this guy hes getting thrown away for a while. I’ve seen a few people have this weird take on Reddit that the jury can just not convict the guy. If they catch this guy you know they’re gonna pool every damn resource they have to make a strong case. The jury just not convicting him is possible, but a judge can still over-rule a jury if the facts are glaringly obvious enough. Even if the judge does let it slide the state would probably appeal and I don’t see any higher level court saying murder is ok. CEO was a huge POS but murder is still murder. Some higher courts have made weird decisions that only apply to one specific case. But it’s usually with more obscure topics that are not something as blatant as murder and it tends to be kind of nefarious. The only hope this dude has is he really did that good of a job and they’ll never catch him or if they do they’ll have next to nothing. But I really doubt the later is likely.
