Why the F*K would the judge do that? The POS already confessed.
Yeah, i’m confused.
Because he didn’t admit guilt in court. They need to start leaving nooses in his cell.
Withdrew his confession, and there are eye witnesses including two teachers that indicate perp had a face mask on so that they didn’t see who it was. 1 of the teachers says he was in full metal tactical gear and had a rifle like none she had ever seen and her first response was “why are the police here?” Perp was 20 feet away from her so unlikely she was mistaken.
Read the last sentence of the excerpt. A guilty plea precludes death penalty. A plea of not guilty allows the death penalty.
I am not convinced that anyone in office is looking out for the people on this criminal case. The FBI and Broward County Sheriff’s office both completely dropped the ball on several dozen specific warnings about this guy as a school shooter. Next, the Broward County Sheriff’s office stayed outside the school during the shooting, intentionally, either out of cowardice or malice, and prevented outside SWAT from entering the building. And now the judge is advocating for the leftist mass murderer. It’s almost like America’s enemies have chosen an ugly path and are guiding us down it.
Death penalty cases require a trial.
It would deprive high-powered attorneys the opportunity of getting the little snowflake acquitted, thereby making their careers (see Clarence Darrow, F. Lee Bailey, Johnny Cochran, etc).
Judges know where their bread is buttered.
The confession can be presented as evidence in court.
He withdrew his not guilty plea and stood silent. The judge usually enters a not guilty plea when the defendant stands silent.
It's required by law if the defendant fails or refuses to plead.
First off I'm not a "Lawyer" or do I have a "Law Degree." Nor do I try and sell the B.S. That I'm a "Licensed" Lawyer. (Ask a Lawyer to see a piece of paper that say's "License.") They will show you there "Bar-Card," a.k.a., State(s) "Mandated Union-Card," simply showing that he/she is a "member in good standing." Translation they are current on Union Mandated Dues.
What the Judge has done is to protect "THE RECORD." In this instance, it's to show that the self confessed killer was protected by proper "DUE PROCESS."
If your wondering, well he did "self-confess," yes you would be right, it's very important to show via the "Court Record," that the "self-confess[ed]" killer was properly represented (& Constitutionally Protected) via a "LAWYER," either a "Public Pretender," (I could write a novel just on that subject) or a privately secured Attorney.
This is to prevent another court (State Appeals or Federal Appeals & Ultimately U.S. Supreme Court) from being able to release said self-confessed killer, because of a "LACK OF DUE PROCESS."
My own courtroom experience, three times to the Washington State Supreme Court (Civil Matter.) Case Law was made in all three cases. Unfortunately I was the loser in all three cases. Ref: The making of "NEW COUNTIES" in a State, that would be the State of Washington.
Prior court decisions are sometimes called a Latin phrase "stare decisis." The courts need a new phrase in my OPINION: Stare at the Shit on the wall, when a court (in my case) make a "HOLDING / stare decisis," based on a subject matter that was neither argued or briefed. Put so a lay person can understand what I just said is basically, the "court" decided to stick their "finger in the air," and say Hey here's our opinion, although nobody asked us, and that's--that!!!
In other words, this is the standard plea entered by judges in these cases.
>>Why the F*K would the judge do that? The POS already confessed.<<
Insanity plea. This is part of the reason why I have stated here and elsewhere that in any truly civilized society this mass murderer would have been hanged within 10 days of his crime.
