And his attorney is one of the high profile defense lawyers we regularly see here on Meidas Touch. Since the evidence is so overwhelming, I'm wondering what her defense will be?

i have to think the defense will be negotiating the best deal possible, and after all, he is a white first time offender from a good family with such bright prospects ............

it should be interesting

the involvement of these upper class south african apartheid expats , musk and thiel that i know of, in our politics is troubling. these guys have such great wealth because their ancestors ruthlessly exterminated bantu and boers . they probably consider us to be just as inconveniently located as those victims were.

There's no death penalty in New York, but if he's also tried where he was found, he could face the death penalty there.

And you're right, the involvement of out-of-touch billionaires in U.S. politics is extremely dangerous. Their goal is to make more money, they have no wish to help working Americans which has traditionally been a priority of the U.S. government, like President Biden's administration.
