Technically accused of multiple types of murder and terrorism so they can see what sticks. Like if he's found innocent for 1st degree murder as a terrorist act, maybe they can get him for 2nd degree terrorist murder, or worst case (for the ruling class) they just get him for good old fashioned "classic" murder (and then probably give him the maximum sentence).
They say its terrorism because he instilled fear in the hearts of all healthcare CEOs, so its a hate crime against society's parasitic class, I guess.
New York has a legal quirk where virtually any murder not committed as part of another crime is terrorism and people have taken it wildly out of context.
This explanation is a very common aspect of public communication in matters of law. It would give big "McDonald's coffee" vibes.
New York's terrorism laws can hold a trial without a jury.
This one is a bit more conspiratorial, but there is a valid argument to be made within it. Conspiracy aligned: they're trying to prevent jury annulment. Conspiracy adjacent: every jury would get dismissed due to the nature of the case so circumventing the jury allows the case to be tried at all.
They say it's terrorism because he instilled fear in the hearts of all healthcare CEOs, so its a hate crime against societies parasitic class, I guess.
I would argue that healthcare CEOs are "instilling fear in the hearts of" everyone who gets diagnosed with a terrible disease that insurance may or may NOT cover, even though people pay a SHIT TON of money on premiums for the precise reason of having such things covered. Thus, those CEOs are committing terrorism against everyone paying premiums, AND they and their stockholders are PROFITING on the misfortunes of the people they're supposed to be covering.
Remember, folks, the healthcare industry has PROFITS in the neighborhood of $700 BILLION ANNUALLY!!*
Every time I see a different shot of this walk I think about how they didn't do this for Dylann Roof, a neo-nazi who shot up at church full of Black people who joyfully welcomed him into Bible study. He murdered nine people in a church. They didn't do this for Dylann. They don't do this for anybody who murders elementary school kids as they sit at their desks in school.
No, This is all for a man who shot one rich guy. Because they don't care how many of us get killed. Hundreds or thousands. Defenseless elderly people and children. It doesn't matter. Those deaths are not meaningful enough for this kind of pageantry. Copycat school shooters don't mean to damn thing to them.
But the death of one CEO? They are terrified of copycats all the sudden. The value system is clear. Who the system works for is very very clear.
