Also, OJ Simpson?

Also, jokes from Donald Trump [https://www.axios.com/2024/01/10/trump-immunity-hearing-cour...]

There is also the fact that if you’re richer, you can probably afford to solve whatever problem you have without actually murdering someone. Especially not murdering them yourself.

Because you can hire lawyers. Or can afford friends in low places. Or have power and influence to get what you want through threats. And aren’t desperate enough (usually) either to consider it a good cost/risk trade off.

But not always, rich people can be crazy too. Or actually, I mean ‘eccentric’. Crazy is when someone is poor.

If you’re criminally inclined, getting more money is always ‘worthwhile’ though, especially since it’s rare anyone can look at it and say it should be punished the same as literal murder.
