    Why do we tolerate it

    The person who ceaselessly bashes their head against a brick wall hoping to knock it down will accomplish one thing, and it’s not knocking the wall down

    This isn’t really abnormal. He’s accused of murder, and a pretty high profile one at that. It’s not uncommon in the slightest for people accused of high profile crimes and people accused of murder to be held in custody pending trial.

      To clarify: There are only two actual reasons that you can legally be held without bail. The first reason is that you’re considered a flight risk. The second reason is that you’re considered a danger to yourself or others if let out of prison before your trial.

      For the first reason, this basically means that the courts don’t believe you would return for your trial, and would flee instead. Maybe you’re rich enough that you can afford to lose the bail money. Maybe you have international connections and can disappear to another country. Maybe you just have a history of fleeing. The Adjuster is 100% without a doubt a flight risk. He fled authorities and evaded a nationwide manhunt for an entire week. And since Luigi is accused of being The Adjuster, he is considered a flight risk.

      For the second reason, this is basically the court going “you were accused of something so violent or egregious that we don’t trust you to avoid doing something similar again while out on bail.” This is most often used with cases like school shooters, serial killers, serial rapists, serial burglars, etc… Basically, the prosecutor argues that if they’re let out, they’ll just fall right back into their old ways again. But a scummy pro-corporation prosecutor could construe The Adjuster as a violent extremist who is likely to strike again.

        Maybe you and everyone else knows that you committed homicide, and your freedom is worth more to you than any amount of money.

    They would absolutely not allow him to die in prison.

    They want to make a public example of him in order to show the proletariat they are the masters.

    They will find a way to find him guilty and they will execute him.

    They will make sure we all know it.

    Why are people generally in prison? Usually because they’re violent, drug addicted or at odds with the status quo.

    Luigi is in prison accused of killing a man responsible for getting people hooked on drugs, marginalizing the already marginalized and poor, and ruining the lives of millions.

    I think the inmates would be more likely to treat him like a hero.

        The guards and administration want him alive.

        People like Epstein die in prison because showing up in court runs the risk of taking down powerful people. People like Luigi always have their day to be dragged through the mud in court before they rot away forever in jail, with random reminders that they’re still alive and suffering.

          Part of me wonders what discovery would come up with if they got access to united health’s database. If they want to go with the argument that it was justified; they probably could get at least some limited access.

          Generally theyre not allowed to go on fishing expeditions, but they are allowed to seek documents and data directly pertaining to their defense (like a pattern of criminal malpractice.)

    I mean he’s accused of premeditated murder, has the resources to flee, and I’m pretty sure “they” want a spectacle to make an example.

    they wont let him get shanked by accident, and they wont Epstein him until they have their spectacle

    How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

    Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

    Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.

    I mean that’s what jail is for.

    Think about it this way. If a young adult (like 18 year old) kills a parent as revenge for getting abused as a kid, do you think this person would just get to move freely before trial?

    Sure, I’d also sympathize with this young adult, and the parent deserve to die for being an abusive piece of shit, but that doesn’t mean this person can just go wandering around the city.

    True. I think even if he gets off, they’ll kill him. Remember all the whistleblower deaths in 2024? Like that.

    America is a country of fat, lazy, cowards that can’t be bothered to not litter. Much less fight and die for anything besides an 80" tv.

      The question is easier to answer with any sympathy and understanding when you ask any given individual if they’re personally planning a jailbreak on behalf of this person. At least that seems to be the calculus for what “tolerate” means here.

      There’s little room for parties not directly involved to work within the system and if the independence of the judiciary is under suspicion then “fight and die” is literally the prospect people would have to face to reasonably do anything about this and that’s a pretty high bar, one which I doubt many would-be critics of the “fat, lazy cowards” would be willing clear themselves.
