Good. They should try to get the death penalty which will put the jury under the maximum pressure to nullify.

I wonder if some of the legal fund can be used for public service announcements to educate the public on jury nullification. IIRC judges don't like to hear that kinda talk in court.

Nullifying it federally doesn't matter if he gets life without parole in New York anyway.

He killed one of the Kings white stags on his lands.

St. Luigi of Hood.

He didn't even kill. He's innocent.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (11 children)

He's innocent until proven guilty. But there does seem to be a strong case that he did kill him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

If so, why is he pleading innocent?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think it was a case I heard about on Criminal podcast where a man who turned himself in for having killed a man a long time ago and took full responsibility ended up pleading not guilty at his lawyer's insistence. He thought there was a reasonable chance for a more lenient sentencing that way than pleading guilty. Can't remember what the reasoning was.
