    He’s taking it to trial and going on the stand, because every politician involved has said they want the death penalty.

    Is this speculation or has there been a statement?

      About if they’re going to push for the death penalty? Yes, the governor and Trump have both explicitly called for it, and the judge told him it was on the table when reading him his charges

          Oh… I misread that as taking a stand, but that seems unlikely seeing as he’s just been provided a lawyer. That’s a very bold move in a case like this, and this is negligently early in the process to decide that

          With how much misinfo there is in this case, I wouldn’t believe it unless it comes from the lawyer directly
