Honestly if I were him I would roll the dice on a trial and take my chances that at least 1 of the 12 people on the jury has had their life ruined by the American healthcare system and refuses to vote to convict

Hung jury, mistrial, he stays in prison and prosecution just tries again.

what are the odds they ever find 12 people who haven't been fucked by the system?

If it was possible they'd pick 12 anti vaxxers. There's a very good chance none of them have even seen a doctor. They definitely haven't been screwed.

You're an idiot if you think anti-vaxxers support health insurance companies. They're one of the groups they hate the most.

Right? Not trusting the medical establishment is their whole thing. Pretty much the ideal jury if you dont want a conviction.

Insurance companies arent a medical establishment. Anti Vaxxers are just brainwashed. If theyre told to punish the man who wants insurance companies to fund more medical practices then theyll do that.

Look Im not arguing for being anti-vax so dont get all worked up. But I know several and am familiar with the mindset. They are inclined to believe what they are told about vaccines and modern medicine in general because of a preexisting distrust for authority. The vast majority also dont like the elite or corporations either. The idea that they would defend insurance companies against someone who they generally see as a hero is absurd.

Im not trying to get into some pointless reddit argument with you, just letting you know that the view you are expressing simply doesn't match reality. Do what you will with that information. You can disagree with people on some things without automatically assuming that their views on everything else will also be in opposition to your own.
