This should be an automatic forced recusal.

But it wont be, because the billionaires and CEOs are scared, and don't care about the appearance of propriety. They want Luigi sacrificed on an altar to instill fear and intimidation into those that might follow his example.

Pretty sure Luigi's lawyer can (and will?) push for a different judge. I know the justice system in the US sucks but if you don't even give a chance to the rules it'll never be able to do anything right

America can you not be corrupt for one single moment please

Not happily married, I hope.

I guess conflicts of interest just aren't a thing anymore.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Nothing to be avoided anymore. Something to seek out.

Remember remember!

The 4th of December

A CEO dies all alone;

On the street he was lain,

cold, pale and in pain,

thousands of deaths that he own.

The decisions he'd struck,

Layers removed from the slaughter,

Were a shareholder's treat,

Your dead mother or daughter.

Those investors all wait, on that cold winter morn,

Still unawares of profit potential they'd mourn,

Poking at hotel breakfast, bored looks on their face

As was Brian's when he denied and delayed at great pace

Endless growth, deposed, on behalf of us all

Luigi didn't do it, we were hiking in Nepal.

"I swear, officer, that I didn't kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free "Free Luigi" shirt doesn't prove anything."

[–] QaspR@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I'm not so sure this would be considered a conflict of interest.

Don't get me wrong; it's egregious, but I don't know if it actually is a COI.

(Not a lawyer).

There were 24,849 homicides in 2022.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

Almost none of them, if any, likely required a nationwide manhunt.

Not one of them required an escort of 30 police officers plus a helicopter to the courtroom.

As far as I can tell, none of them were charged with terrorism.

And now he's getting as biased a judge as he could possibly get.

If we're going to start charging murderers with terrorism, let's start with the cops.

you people clearly don't know what you are talking about. "conflict of interest" only happens if it conflicts the interests of billionaires
