How is this not an instant mistrial?
Because they've never even tried to bother to pretend this is going to be a fair trial.
Which tells me that they have no evidence whatsoever and he is innocent.
He's actually innocent. But they need a scapegoat to make the rich class feel safe.
There is no reason to believe he's innocent. I hate rich people that kill people with their disgusting and shitty decisions too but I don't think he is literally innocent of putting holes in the CEO's body.
Fortunately this is not how criminal courts work. Or at least not how they're supposed to. You don't have to prove your innocence, they have to prove that you are guilty.
If you think he put holes in that CEO, prove it.
I feel like there is hokey in how they caught him. Its still odd that he was "reported by a mcdonalds worker" that doesn't seem to exist.
Where are you getting the idea that the person doesn't seem to exist?
Media crews can easily isolate both the mcdonalds in question and anyone working there. 911 calls are usually recorded. None of that info hit the public afaik.
