  • They can’t count on a jury that hates insurance companies. You would be surprised how many folks might be neutral on it, and jury selection can spend as much time as they want trying to find those people. Last time I might have served the lawyers dismiaaed essentially the entire jury twice over before accepting and that was over some anonymous little civil suit.

    With respect to the family man angle, well there’s not much to be done on that front by the defense. “He was a dick who had it coming” isn’t a legal defense and even if attempted, people would probably think it is a bad look to try to smear the reputation of a dead man.

    On the Internet circle jerks, a folk hero getting off seems really neat and with enough celebration seems even probable. Reality is not so.

    Just wish it cut both ways, that health care executives be more accountable for lives lost due to their misbehaviors.
