He has admitted in court to doing it.
you realise people plea to things they didnt do every day, right?
Not killing someone they don't.
Yes they do. A quick search would have spared you this particular, "living under a rock," take.
Feel free to prove me wrong then. But admitting to a crime you didn't commit isn't something that happens regularly.
You just lowered the bar*, but the US DOJ routinely reports that up to 50% to 60% of people that take a plea deal are actually innocent upon further review of the actual evidence.
Plea deals are how about 90% of all cases in the US are settled, with the innocent accused pleading guilty to a crime they didn't commit, so they get a better deal than a jury and judge will give them if they are found guilty.
Again, I am not going to give you more than crumbs. You can find all this data with a quick search.
*Lowered the bar in this case is equivalent to moving the goalposts in my favor.
Cool, how many of them took a plea deal for killing someone?
At least let those goalposts cool down a bit before moving them again.
I bet you think racism doesn't exist either huh?
are you willingly or unwillingly stupid?
