Yes, I’m talking about murderer Jonathan Ross, who did a murder.

I personally don't want him safe. I want him to be vilified, hated, shunned, and to never have a moment of peace ever again. I want people throwing trash at him, spitting at him, tripping him on the sidewalk.

I want him to live the rest of his life, miserable and unloved by anyone. I want him to suffer until the moment the light leaves his twisted, crooked eyes.

The American voting public is full of sheep who don't realize when they're being taken for a ride by their rulers.

He murdered someone on a video that only the sickest people on earth are defending

I'm pretty sure the charge is 1st degree murder, however 'premeditation' is the key point of differentiation between 1st and 2nd degree.

Here's what I found from Minnesota Statutes Section 609.185: https://legalclarity.org/understanding-murder-charges-and-penalties-in-minnesota/

"In Minnesota, the criteria for murder charges are defined by state statutes, which outline the circumstances and intent required for each degree. Minnesota Statutes Section 609.185 outlines conditions for first-degree murder, including premeditated intent to kill, killing during certain felonies, or causing the death of a peace officer. Proving intent and premeditation is pivotal in distinguishing first-degree murder from other charges.

Second-degree murder, under Minnesota Statutes Section 609.19, involves intentional killing without premeditation or causing death while committing a felony not specified for first-degree murder. The absence of premeditation differentiates it from first-degree murder, yet intent remains crucial. This distinction highlights the importance of the defendant’s state of mind.

Third-degree murder, detailed in Minnesota Statutes Section 609.195, is characterized by acts that are dangerous to others and demonstrate a depraved mind, without regard for human life, but without intent to kill any particular person. This charge often applies when actions were reckless or negligent, leading to death. The focus is on the reckless nature of the act rather than specific intent to kill, differentiating it from higher degrees of murder."

Funny how this literally never applies to normal people.

What about in the situation where the person is considered a danger to the public?

I appreciate your insight here, all of your responses show how the legal system in the US is supposed to work, and apply to all citizens equally. But what this analysis ignores is that the Trump Administration is building up its own "in group", to which these restraints no longer apply. Both sides are playing by different rules now, enforced by an Administration and DoJ which is taking sides.

Consider the case if someone (maybe even a sworn law officer with their own qualified immunity) steps in front of a car driven by an ICE agent and kills them in cold blood. The US justice system is supposed to work the same for that person as for the Minnesota ICE agent. But we all know what will happen. The surrounding ICE agents will render their own vengeful (and biblical) verdict on the spot, Kristi Noem will spout some bullshit, and nobody involved will ever see a courtroom.

That's the problem. The rules are changing, and the courts can't keep up.

People wait yeeeeears in pretrial detention.

It’s the same people.

Not too soon though. I want him to suffer until he dies, socially and physically, so much so that his last thought in this world to be, 'I'm terrified, I'm going to die,' just like Renee's likely were.
