THUGPOWER fails
Henrikson convicted on all counts.
GOOD. Amid the modern demonic mess of false accusations, falsely defined crimes, and real criminals going free because of Correct Caste, it's goddamn refreshing to see a BAD MAN getting a CLEAR SENTENCE.
The trial took several weeks because there were a lot of charges, not because it was nuanced or delicate. One day was enough for the jury to hit the jackpot on all points.
Henrikson was trying to do a job that he wasn't qualified for. He is a plain old THUG, and he was trying to start up a full-fledged Mafia to organize the Dakota oilfields. Mafias use deterrence and threats to build loyalty. Killing everyone who works with you is not an effective way to develop loyalty.
