The prosecutor just asked him if he was inspired by “first person shooter videogames” where “the objective is to kill as many people as possible”
He’s 100% getting away with it.

EDIT: his testimony continues, new link here: https://youtu.be/YfrUopNUSIk
EDIT 2: The judge just denied the admission of a key prosecution video exhibit because "pinching and zooming on an ipad inserts extra pixels" and he won't allow the exhibit unless the prosecution can find an expert witness to testify that it won't corrupt the image. He's given him 20 minutes to find such a witness
Judges are a curse upon this world, and really ought to be treated as enemies as much as if not moreso than landlords and possibly a few other government jobs. They are the keystone of oppression
Criminal trials should be in front of three judges like the ones that Congress created for the federal court system .
Three judge decisions are universally fairer. They are much more expensive to run; however, if the state is going to deprive someone of their life, liberty, or property than the extra cost is justified.
An aside: Outside of a few states running some reform justice programs that force civil law diversions most of the the United States' justice system is common law - where judges can overrule democracy so long as judges above them agree. What fucking use is a constitution if at the end of the day its meaning is divined by only 9 unelected judges serving for life?
Hear me out... three judges voting ... on the blockchain
I don't know much of anything about law, so when you put it out in an understandable way like that it somehow makes me hate this country even more. like holy shit
