"Nobody, but most importantly not Mr. Elfgeeh, was clearly advised (about) ...his rights to a jury trial with the prospect of facing the sentences that he now faces," Sifton said. This is a good thing. If the book got thrown at him (and it likely will), he'd plea 'ignorance' and some liberals would let him off. Now, there is no way this degenerate can claim he didn't realize the seriousness of his crimes.

The judge WANTS a trial and isn't giving the dude a "copout". (I think that's what's going on).
