i hope roof has a trial. hope he doesnt plead.

i hope that all this is spilled out to the media during a well publicized trial.
if the kid just cops a plea, it becomes so much easier to sweep it under the rug.

eta- followed by life in prison. a long, long, long life in prison.
what is going to happen to him when he finds out that there are black people in prison who are better men than he?

my bet is the media won't cover it much no matter what. Its kind of a testament to the drive they've been on for so long now.

the " media " has to keep the staus quo of fear and materialism going .

if we were to learn what is behind this guy or any of these guys deeds there would be a good chance of stopping it all .

what he said so far doesnt matter. when his arraignment comes along, whether he accepts a guilty plea or asks for a trial is all that matters.
hopefully the prosecutors want to make an example of his ass, and present a case that drags in all his influences and accomplices.

His "friends" may encourage him to use the trial as a platform to spew hatred. I think that society needs to open this infected wound to the sunlight.

If he enters a plea, I can't see them reducing his sentence in exchange. They've got him. It's a slam-dunk. They can try for the insanity defense, but it's clear from his writings and comments to his friends that he had awareness of what he was doing and knew that his actions were criminal.

I would expect SC to go for the death penalty, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
