This sort of thing has been happening a lot lately.
Maybe I get trying to avoid a protracted prison term by ending it quickly, but two months of suffering doesn’t seem any better. If they are making a statement, what is it? That they’d rather martyr themselves than submit to the justice system? OK. Lay down some thick plastic and have at it, assholes.
There’s no truth to the rumor that he was seen flipping a coin shortly before the incident.
Truly a Wonderful Thing /s
Fraudsters really do love the thrill of transgression, don’t they?
To be fair, the article did elicit a sense of wonder in me about the man’s mental state while he was “reacting” to his sentence.
Is this why they say don’t take the brown acid?
Maybe he thought he was doing this?

The case had already been delayed because Marshall suffered serious medical problems after stabbing himself in the neck when he was arrested by police in 2016.
Kinda significant, that.

Someone failed to read the warning label…
Sounds like a last-ditch attempt at collar whitening gone wrong.
It’s an unmistakably effective strategy for achieving better outcomes during sentencing; but normally has to be started earlier and sustained throughout, rather than conducted at the last moment.
Weird flex but ok
If you were curious about a before pic:
I did not click through to the original article… did they really have the after pic?
I don’t understand the point of this story.
We’re glad because this guy’s dead?
We’re amused by the way this guy killed himself?
Justice was served by a self-inflicted acid death?
I don’t understand the point of this story.
You mean like this?
