CMV: J Jonah Jameson belongs in jail.

Jameson funded Scorpion and the spider slayers. It makes some sense he'd get away with Scorpion because he was supposed to be a super hero who would bring Spiderman to 'justice'. Still technically illegal but no worse than, for example, Iron Man. The spider slayers were just straight up assassin droids. It would be like if Rupert Murdoch hired Elon Musk to build a bunch of robots to kill someone. They'd both be hauled off in handcuffs while the rest of us wondered what they were thinking. How the fuck did he get away with something so insane? Did he make a deal with Mephisto too?

To change my POV: provide a possible reason Jameson wouldn't be legally liable for the spider slayers.

The Spider Slayers are a similar situation as Scorpion. When Jameson piloted the machines, he intended to publicly apprehend and unmask Spider-Man. It was Smythe, not Jameson, who wanted to use the technology to kill Spider-Man.
