      If you want a trial, you have to plead not guilty. Otherwise, it just goes to sentencing, which would be done in a few weeks.

      Pleading not guilty, he’ll be in the news every couple weeks, inspiring universal healthcare legislation, candidates, and/or copycats.

        This.

        Besides the media play that this will get, jury nullification is still a thing. Even when killing is wrong, it’s possible to convince a jury of his peers that killing one CEO has saved thousands of people.

      Because he has more to say.

      If he was trying to genuinely get away with it, he would have destroyed the gun, not written the manifesto, worn a disguise…

        Unless that is all fabricated evidence. Im not even trying to meme here. Some of the “facts” and evidence about this case are odd and suspicious.

        If he didn’t do it, he’s a hero for enduring the bullshit the state is throwing at him.
