This is a genuine question.
I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

I wouldn’t say it’d be “in their favor”. To be honest, I don’t think even the ruling class has a way to make this smply “go away” in the “make sure polices and judges do not pursue this case” sense, and even if they did that’d just spark more animosity towards them that they have this power (i mean, we know they do, it’s just now it’d be visible) and they’re using it.
