I wonder if some hotshot lawyer might want to take his case as a challenge and help acquit him. Depending on the circumstances, he could have a chance. Might make for an interesting legal case study, at least.
Tbh, I hate that this poor kids life took this turn, and he felt the need to do this. I guarantee you that more than half the people he stood up for, won’t be standing up for him.
Uhhh “my client is fuckin’ rad” is not a legal defense.
Maybe not in the technical sense, but if the jury is on board they could absolutely use that as justification to implement jury nullification of a guilty verdict.
If a lawyer mentioned that in court it would be grounds for a mistrial.
You know, I think he would have been more rad if he had amassed enough wealth or resources to make a difference for things he cares about. Musk basically showed us that you can buy American democracy for $250M.
He’s from a very wealthy connected family that is well known in the area. His attorneys will be top tier
