Fucker pleaded not guilty

[malaise]

OK then.
44 indictments

[Hokie]

1. What fucker?

I guess we are supposed to read your mind?

[WillowTree]

3. Just a wild guess, but I'm thinking the PA shooter.

[jberryhill]

4. The fucker who was charged

And, yes, “What is malaise on about now?” is a time honored DU tradition. Keep up.

[malaise]

11. I thought very one knew he was in court this. Lining

[donkeypoofed]

2. Which fucker is that?

[vlyons]

7. Bowers

[Hokie]

9. I am not surprised

At this point that is what any attorney would advise him to do. I cannot every see the DA offering him a deal though. He will be charged on multiple counts of Murder 1.

[vlyons]

5. I don't care what he pleads

What I do care about is him using a court trial as a stage to spew his anti-semitic crap. I have a sinking feeling that is his plan. Cast himself as an heroic great white crusader martyr, defending the white race. Hopefully, if he demands a court trial, the judge will not allow cameras in court. Yikes.

[democratisphere]

6. Must be drumpf.

I am surprised there are not 144 indictments.

[malaise]

12. Soon

And very soon

Of course he could help us out

[USALiberal]

8. Which is always done. Nt

[malaise]

14. Wouldn't be when you're proud of hating

[USALiberal]

16. It is normal, working on plea deal. Nt

[lunatica]

10. Didn't he already blab to the police about his motive?

Funny how suddenly these assholes use our legal system to save their asses, while proclaiming they hate the way others “abuse” the system.

[leftynyc]

13. Perhaps a DU lawyer can correct me

if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression that when it comes to a defendant looking at the death penalty, it's automatic that the plea is not guilty.

15. That shouldn't be a surprise malaise, but no jury in Pitsburg is going to buy that

17. I'm not there and I don't buy it

[still_one]

35. I meant no jury will buy it. Mistyped on stupid phone on my initial reply

[malaise]

36. LOL- cool

Well this iPad is worse than most phones

[still_one]

38. ...............

[HipChick]

18. so was there a duppy shooting the gun then?

wtf?

[malaise]

20. If you're so proud of killing people

Man the fuck up and should guilty and proud.
These fuckers are always cowards when it's their time to face the consequences. Not guilty my ass.

[Bettie]

19. Of course he did

because in his mind, he isn't guilty. To people like him, he's human, but nearly no one else is.

He is Trump and Trump is him. The trappings are just different.

[malaise]

21. Well said

[Recursion]

22. Standard procedure for a first appearance if you're working on a plea deal (nt)

[ProudLib72]

23. Rump made me do it!

Please, please, please let him say it, and let them enter that into the court documents!

[Shrike47]

24. In my state, facing the death penalty, the court cannot accept a plea of guilty at arraignment.

If you said guilty, the judge would tell you he couldn’t accept that plea and was entering a plea of not guilty on your behalf.

In the present circumstances, he has been told he has to say not guilty so don’t be surprised.

[malaise]

25. He should defy the court

If he's so proud.
That said, thanks for the specifics.

26. State is holding back on charges for the time being.

snip..." A day after Allegheny County prosecutors sought a court order to force the U.S. Marshals Service to turn over Robert Bowers for arraignment on 11 counts of criminal homicide, they have instead agreed to put their case on hold until the federal charges have played out."

27. Would a judge accept a "guilty" plea in a capital case?

Before execution, there has to be a series of appeals. I seems "not guilty" is the only plea that makes sense. As if any of this makes sense.

[Thomas Hurt]

28. If he is looking at the death penalty that would be the only plea a competent atty...

would let their client enter.

[moondust]

29. Framed by the Fake News?

Coming soon to a courtroom near you...

30. Even freepers are against this guy

[H2O Man]

31. Recommended.

That's just a part of the process. No attorney would advise him to do differently, at this point. I'm kind of hoping that he'll stick with the not guilty plea, though no attorney would advise that.

[malaise]

37. But he's against the process

.

[safeinOhio]

32. Hope his lawyer is

being paid up front.

sucks to be him or her.

[mn9driver]

33. Pretty standard in a death penalty case.

There is no way in hell the prosecutors will plea bargain this, though. His days of breathing free air are over.
