Deny Defend Depose

Yesterday the CEO of United Health Co. was shot dead in Midtown Manhattan in what police say was a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack'. From ABC: NBC also reported this along with this information. Southpaw (a very good follow on BlueSky) caught this and posted:
If the shooter was lying in wait, I feel it is safe to speculate that he knew of this man's schedule. It feels that he was screwed by the Insurance company or someone he cared for was. I am sadly assuming the shooter was a man.
This is who we are now and it's very problematic.

The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Thompson was killed, police sources told ABC News late Wednesday evening.
Shell casings found at the scene where the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot dead by a masked gunman in front of a busy New York City hotel had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” written on them, a senior New York City law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed to NBC News on Thursday.

He was on his way to speak at UnitedHealth Group's investor conference when the gunman who had been lying in wait for several minutes approached from behind and fired at least once into his back and at least once in the right calf, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a news conference Wednesday.
The words imprecisely echo the title of Jay Feinman’s 2010 book about health insurers’ abusive practices.

Olivia Troye on preemptive pardons: "I have not done anything wrong. I know that ... all we're doing is speaking the truth. But in today's environment, in terms of what's to come under the Trump administration, I think that's something that we're all thinking about."
