minus-squareFlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down18·edit-219 days ago Allow his defense lawyer play up that he killed that fucking CEO because someone he loved died That would not be admissible at trial. The purpose of a trial is to present or rebut evidence that he killed the CEO. Anything extraneous to that is not allowed. The exception would be if he were trying an insanity defense, which almost never succeeds.
