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.
