    He’s accused of killing a member of the public in the hope of frightening everyone else in that person’s position into taking some kind of action.

    How would you even go about proving that without a confession, let alone proving he was the one that actually did it. If they can point to one thing this CEO or Company did that would get someone potentially angry enough toward that one person or company to do harm then I’m not sure how you expand that to everyone else.
