Based on the evidence, I'd say he's not guilty.
The weirdest part to me would be why he'd write a manifesto to "save the police time" and then not plead guilty
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.
He could want to take the stand and give a speech that will remain a public document forever
I heard they found the manifesto with three copies of the Sims
Didn't they charge him with terrorism?
If he didn't do it, why is everyone around here treating him like a hero?
If he didn't do it, he's a hero for enduring the bullshit the state is throwing at him.
