I can't believe that Athay will actually try for an acquittal. You notice, he has challenged some of the "evidence" published in the press, but he has never said Hacking didn't do it. There really isn't an effective "insanity defense" in Utah. But he may attempt to avoid the death penalty.
If Hacking has any kind of a conscience left, he won't drain his dad's bank account with a phony defense.

Unfortunately, it seems that any man who could sit on information about the situation for 5 days....I would say he has no conscience at all.
It would be useless and a big waste of his parents' money to go to trial. Besides, being a huge waste of taxpayer money. Look at how much LE has been going through to recover the body from the landfill and most likely have a lot more days to search.
To say nothing of the manpower slogging through all that debris. How horrible for those poor guys & the dogs.
