Authorities say she echoed words connected to the murder when she allegedly said "delay, deny, depose, you people are next".

Summary

Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.

Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.

Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.

      I’d never take that kind of action against another person for any reason. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, this alone makes me feel that way. I don’t think these rich people or their highly paid judges and politicians realize “setting an example” in the current climate isn’t going to have the effect they think it will.
