None of this computes. Why doesn’t the prosecution ask for a motion to wrap things up since the defendant has admitted his crimes, and the court is there not to ascertain why he did what he did, and his “reasons” are irrelevant. Sentencing should be tomorrow. Something just ain’t right.
Obama must have told them to keep this on the down low.
Well, even if the prosecution rested tomorrow, they can’t just sentence him, because he has to have the opportunity to make his defense.
I don’t think it matters much, in terms of process, that he admitted to the shooting, since he has pled not guilty and can still mount a defense against murder even if he admits to the shooting. The Zimmerman trial is a perfect example of that. It’s hard to imagine any defense this guy could come up with would be convincing, but the prosecutors have to make a solid case anyway. They’ve got to assume he will try to dispute the charges somehow when he gets his turn.
