The worst possible outcome is that these devils are acquitted and WALK.
If that happens, half of New York will storm the place they’re being held and take their own vengeance out on them. Even the US Marshals wouldn’t be able to stop them without shooting a whole lot of angry civilians.
They MUST convict, and the sentence MUST be death. Anything less is unacceptable.
Why?
We have people in this country who are responsible for a million human deaths a YEAR and no legal hand can TOUCH THEM!
