The best question is "do you think wealthy CEOs disproportionately evade justice."

One of the more sympathetic views towards the murderer is that there was no legal avenue to pursue the CEO for mass fraud under which the plaintiffs would get a fair shake. Vigilantism is more welcome by the public when it appears to be the only recourse.

What prevents the juror answering "no", and then acting precisely on this belief?

A scary man in a suit and another scary one with a gavel who can put you in jail for 6 months because you looked at him wrong.
