What if he changes his plea? Forget insanity. He can change his plea .. What then?
I got your point but refuse to entertain the idea, given the mounds of evidence.
He made the threats, broadcast them and executed children and teachers -methodically. There’s no shortage of surveillance, credible witnesses and his confession.
The only chance he has of avoiding execution is to plead guilty and cop the insanity defense.
If he changes his plea it will cost the state a lot more to prosecute him and he will fry.
If the prosecutor, Mike Satz, refuses to take the DP off the table then Cruz could enter a not-guilty plea and force the state to lay out their case. If he is enjoying all the attention, he may do that. Anything is possible.
“Cruz would plead guilty IF prosecutors agree not to seek the death penalty, his lawyers say.”
Satz’s office is waiting for a decent time of mourning to pass before asking for input from the victims and their families. He also has to see how much blame comes down on the school district and sheriff.
Note that State Atty. Michael Satz is one of the signers to the sanctuary discipline agreement. IOW, he agreed to not seek prosecution for the list of criminal infractions exempted within the school district.
Due to his cooperation, Satz is part of the problem.
