Premedicated Killing of a CEO


 

A United-Healthcare CEO was shot in the back by an assassin and a good majority of the population said the killing was justified because this CEO caused the death of numerous people by slow-walking or refusing their claims.


A bartender can be held accountable if the drunk leaving their bar is responsible for killing someone while they are driving.


Should this apply to healthcare CEOs as well?


More importantly is the question:   is the shooter who killed the CEO justified in doing so on behalf of the others who died?


The shooter stalked his victim and waited until the right time, so there is PREMEDITATION.


Now...

what if the jury is sympathetic to the plight of those who lost their lives as a result of this slow-walking or declining CEO and finds the assassin innocent:  can and should the judge OVERRIDE?


Judges can do this, but it is rare.


Also important here is what will United-Healthcare do in retaliation for the killing of their CEO?


Will this case ever be resolved fairly for either side?
