Spoiled rich kid with back pain kills insurance CEO, some industry-wide practices abruptly change.

Public: “Yay, justice at last! Spoiled Rick Kid is a god!!!”

Insurance practices slowly go back to the way they were. New CEO is just as bad.

Public: “The system betrayed us again!”

Duh?

And now the public knows that killing a CEO had a direct impact. Regardless of the perpetrator, that has an effect on the public imagination!
