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.
Maybe ‘Executive’ is the issue here. I do agree there’s a difference between healthcare and health insurance.
Being involved in healthcare in any way is still a conflict of interest.
I know you’re being downvoted, but its a good point I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.
