    What a bullshit question this is premised on. “Can you name a victim of the Israeli genocide? No? Guess they weren’t worth saving then.”

      It’s classic court demonization.

      The prosecution will go on and on about how many lives the poor insurance company has saved by “helping out the less fortunate”, etc. and keep repeating phrases like “And how many people has he saved!?”. It’s commonly done to influence the jury.

      American jury trials are heavily infulenced by who has the most manipulative lawyer.
