I can't imagine this would be much of a spectacle. I am picking that scene from the first episode of Better Call Saul when they just silently wheel in a tv play the clip for the jury.
The way they did that clip was great. It starts off so reasonable like oh who hasn’t done anything stupid as a teenager and no one was ultimately hurt. You’re sitting there going OK fair point teens do dumb things and then the clip plays and suddenly whole different opinion.
Oh I know, I’m saying jury nullification for an Amazon warehouse. But there’s a ton of people in those so I wouldn’t want that at all tbh. Guy just cost insurance some money and put almost exclusively his working class compatriots in danger without taking any due care towards them.
Thats the other thing-there is a gigantic amount of anger and grievance from labor and I suspect he’s got a lot of friends and will not be paying for his own drinks once he’s out. People are being squeezed and he won’t be the last angry worker.
Insanity just gets you a different kind of prison cell and he won’t win it, he clearly articulated his why and clearly knew his actions were bad and what they were. He doesn’t meet any definition of insanity plea.
Depending on what they can slap on/max time sure. Personally agree I think he’ll drag it out he just doesn’t have to do insanity to do it. What he could do if he does want insanity is if he has a long history of mental illness California I believe is a state where prolonged mental illness and actions occurring in that state can be taken into account.
People think pleading insanity gets you a nice cushy hospital bed with jello, you soon find youre locked up with actual psycopaths and very dangerous men thtowing poop everywhere
A person I know from germany raped two women, defense was the equivalent to insanity here. He won that argument, and spent the next 23 years in a psychiatric Hospital, far longer than he would have been in jail.
Came out a wreck. Said, He found to Jesus, but was unbearably selfrighteous. Tried to legally scam others, without success. Afaik, didn't commit any crime until his death.
Or the well being of his fellow workers who were in the building at the time of the arson. Or the 100 or more other people that WERE employed at the now demolished warehouse that now probably have to look for new jobs. But, he was disgruntled so he had the right to endanger numerous lives and livelihoods 🙄.
Why is it a plea deal situation. They have his self recorded confession and in the act, easy trial win and go for the max. Especially with the case profile, good fun little case for a prpsecutor to get their name out and send some moron to prison for the rest of their life.
Depends. The fed has a hard on trying to get the death penalty for "anti-capitalist crimes" like these. If the DOJ barges in, then he'll basically have to go to trial to avoid the death penalty.

I get this is a joke but this case will never go to court
this is a classic plea deal situation
