    I don’t really know if a legal defense fund makes sense. He filmed himself committing the crime and admitted to it. This has got to be the most unavoidable verdict ever, right?

        Fair point, although he should get a state appointed representative regardless, right? I just am not sure whether having the best lawyer in the world or a literal sock puppet will make a difference now. Either way he’s looking at 10 years for sure. Idk though, I guess 10 vs 20 seems achievable and would be pretty worth it…hmm yeah I think I’m more with you now

          State appointed lawyers are garbage because they keep them very overloaded. A good lawyer always makes a difference because our system is set up to be more lenient on people with money
