What are the most famous GOT-AWAYS of American Legal system? (lemmy.ml)

I am talking about people born in USA or who committed crimes in USA after having lived here for a while, who when indicted/convicted of crimes successfully managed to flee the country and evade the Justice System forever.

Edward Snowden comes to mind, I don't completely know what he did, I know he exposed the US govt spying on it's own citizens and that's good, but apparently he put lives in danger and blah.. blah.. blah.. (I don't know if that's true, if it is, then idk, I might not like him anymore)

Yeah, but who else other than Snowden

No one was ever able to prove a single life was put in danger by Snowden, it's all hearsay and speculation. Doesn't matter anyway if it did. People's lives are in danger all the time, but safety (especially that of spies and undercover operatives) doesn't trump human rights.

Assata Shakur would be another one.
