Unless they’re planning some sort of insanity defense, what defense attorney in his right mind would let this go to trial? This is the situation in which you explain to your client that a jury will bury him, and that almost any plea deal offered by the prosecution is going to be the better choice.

When I look at these ubiquitous pictures of these baby-faced Nazis, I see humanity and I think this is some virulent disease that we don’t have the right name for yet.

Maybe we could have a public hanging for this guy, and reserve a front row seat for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Or does she only attend the hangings of black people?

Still waiting for the DOJ to beg SCOTUS to intervene in this case. If they don’t act fast, evidence could be entered into the record!

Unless your client wants the bully pulpit and isn’t really worried about going to prison. If he goes to a facility with a heavy aryan gang population he might even be well received.

Twenty one year old terrorist encouraged by 72 year old just like ISIS indoctrinates young suicide bombers. Or did Trumpski ever get around to denouncing Nazis?

His prospects in the slammer might actually be superior to his probable future on the outside.

“Your Honor, my client was just trying to get to Chik filet in a hurry and this careless woman got in the way.”

Law question. Do prosecutors not bother with what must be dozens of felony assault charges because the murder charge is the biggie? Or are those charges brought separately? Just wondering if it’s a result of the way stories like this get covered or the way our justice system works.

That is if the prosecution is offering a deal. This is a slam dunk conviction for murder 1. I doubt they’ll consider anything less than max for this asshole. They can’t lose. No reason to deal.

In Florida ( where I live ) they often hold them against deal making. If the defendants attorney gets ridiculous they bring out the additional charges. In this case they have no chance of losing a murder 1 verdict. No reason to ad more to it.

It’s like they are de-evolving back to Chimps basically. They are our nearest relative and they are a nasty animal - violent, even cannibalistic.

They don’t see the value of civilization - they see it as a weakness.

Especially for not “dealing” on the hard charge. They are sending this phuck to nazi college.

Well they may just keep him there. If not for the rest of his life, then for a good long time.

I think they’d still be willing to offer something slightly less, like Murder 2. There’s always a risk that a jury will get confused and decide that he was under a lot of emotional strain and just lashed out, or even that he felt threatened by the counter-protesters and was defending himself. All it takes is one or two dunces on the jury…
