An ethical judge wouldn’t let that interfere with their judgement. An ethical city wouldn’t put a judge in that situation.
I wouldn’t want the appearance of any conflicts and would reassign the case. Especially for a case as high profile as this.
The system: we can’t find a neutral jury, everyone approves the crime being alleged. 😰
Also the system: yea, put Brian Murderface’s best friend as the judge. 😏
Healthcare executive is not at all the same as health insurance executive. Most people in health care hate the insurance as much or more.
Being involved in healthcare in any way is still a conflict of interest.
Maybe ‘Executive’ is the issue here. I do agree there’s a difference between healthcare and health insurance.
I know you’re being downvoted, but its a good point I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.
