If the case is at the sentencing phase, the conviction is clearly made by the court already. If the news agency is concerned about libelous statements, that goes out the window once the court’s decision is official. OP is right. This is just pussyfooting passive voice bullshit. This was murder. Call it what it is.

This is the part many people fail to grasp about corporate taxes, tariffs, and fees in general. The corporations are just tax collectors for the added burden on the general public. There’s no altruistic integrity going on in the corporate world that says, “we shouldn’t pass this cost on to the consumer, we have to pay our fair share.” Shouting about raising taxes on corporations is begging for consumers to pay more taxes.
