    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.

        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.

        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.
