That would be similar to what happened in the OJ trial, where a message was sent by the jury, loud and clear.
There are so many interesting angles of this story.
One - about one person is murdered in NYC everyday and none of them get trans-national coverage. Why is this CEO special? Crickets on that. The billionaire media steps up for one of their own?
Two - is the CEO of a health insurance company a stand-up member of society or a parasite? Crickets on that. I mean, was the fact that he was the CEO of a parasitic institution, getting rich on ripping off everyday Americans in their hour of need...did that have something to do with the motives of the killer?
Three - the CEO was under investigation for insider trading. Why hasn't that been discussed when talking about the character of the individual?
Four - does this send a message to the healthcare industry? If not, how many copycats would it take before a message is received? How do we feel about that message of vigilante justice?
This is a truly fascinating story IMO

US justice tends to side with the wealthier more powerful one, so I don't see this guy getting off.
1- well it should be obvious.
2- likely, considering the messages on the bullets
3- we are too busy laughing at the monopoly money
4-obviously...with the reversal on anesthetics. I think the better question is will there be any lasting changes, to which I reply "hah!" Vigilante justice is just a sign that people have had enough, and this is seen as their last recourse. It's a sign the system isn't working for the people, and, well, it's hard not to argue that.
