Ok, so the police caught the attacker as he hit Mr. Pelosi with a hammer. He admitted breaking into their home and stated what he intended to do. He signed a document that described in detail his intentions and he obviously violated several laws. AND THEN HE PLEADS “NOT GUILTY”. Is this a great country or what? We honestly cannot believe that anyone with an ounce of sense can find in Constitutional law or precedent any basis for this kind of plea. If he had jaywalked, would he be allowed to plead “not guilty”? What if he defaced public property…would he be able o demand a full jury trial? This plea will result in a huge waste of resources and time to determine that a man is guilty of what HE ALREADY CONFESSED TO DOING. How does a “not guilty” plea change ANYTHING? We beg the court “please convict and sentence him without delay. If he is mentally incompetent as adjudged by the psychiatric experts then institutionalize him. But don’t accept “not guilty” when the world knows different.”
