    How many of those school and White supremacist shooters that killed so many innocent kids and adults got the death penalty, by the way?

          Yes, but you can dig into the details. This is both sickening and avoidable.
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000–present)
          “…shootings at public and private schools…”

          For comparison here in the UK we have to go back to 1996 to find a school shooting. Gun control provably works.

      Your honor, my client Luigi is predisposed to assassinating people in power due to the well known Italian “Sic Semper Tyrannis” gene that manifested in Brutus and the senators that stabbed Caesar 23 times, the crowd that lynched Mussolini, Gaetano Bresci, the famous Italian dish Spaghetti all’Assassina, and Ezio Auditore da Firenze

    I saw someone speculating a while ago that they might do this to make the jury chuddier because jury members in death penalty cases can be disqualified for not approving of the death penalty in general.

      Which is why people need to keep that shit to themselves. Also not sure if that will make much of a difference. He has pretty broad support from people across the political spectrum.

        broad support from people across the political spectrum

        Some of my chud relatives were initially in support of it… for like a day. Then the GOP (and Democrat) establishment came out against it and they all followed suit.

      Nice, I’m still technically not lying. I’m not against the death penalty in general, only when administered by capitalist crooked legal systems. I’m all for putting CEOs against the wall

      While that’s true, juries are still less likely to convict when the death penalty is on the table, because they feel bad about it even if they’re theoretically in favor of it

    This could actually work in his favor since it is much harder to get a death penalty charge to stick than say life in prison, especially in NY.

    I think with the credible allegations of breaking chain of evidence on the backpack, manifesto, and weapon, could be enough to at least get a hung jury.

    Even if he gets off this still sends a message to people “if you fight the ruling class we will kill you”.

    The point is to try and scare people into not becoming copycats.

    Already seeking the death penalty when the trial hasn’t even begun and is by all accounts built on illegally obtained and most likely planted evidence. If America was really a just country, this wouldn’t even make it to jury trial.
