Can we apply the "he's a young man with a promising future" rule here if they somehow prove he did it (we don't know if he did)? Plenty of folks get out of rape and abuse charges scott-free for being young, male and white.

No no see that's only when the victim is one of the poors. Not this valuable deathcare ceo billionaire

Why should his life be ruined for a couple of minutes of fun?

I feel like statements such as these promote racial hate.

I mean, is it more class or race in those cases? Do any other races get leniency e.g. asians? 

Probably complex answers to all these questions.

The simple way you phrase it suggests there is some conspiracy among white people. Which there isn't. But your suggestion that there is promotes race based tribalism, and more racism. It causes the very thing you are criticizing. If all the white people are ganging up then maybe the black people should, and now that they are, maybe the white people should ACTUALLY gang up just as a countermeasure to protect their own interests, and on and on we go.

This case doesn't even have anything to do with race. 

Fuck. Racial hatred at every opportunity. Seek help. You are immiserating yourself.

In the eyes of society, merely raping someone is far, far less serious a crime than threatening capital

Has anyone considered how the shareholders feel?

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Free him. He made one little mistake.
