Witness testimony concluded on January 20. It took the jury approximately two hours of deliberations to reach a unanimous guilty verdict on all counts.

Sounds like they didn't even stall for lunch

Yeah, this is insanely fast for eight criminal charges.

I guess literally having video and photos of the defendant in the act of committing the crimes (and then further video of him repeatedly bragging about it afterward) speeds up the process quite a bit.

Don't forget the interview he gave after exiting the capitol but still on the grounds, talking about how he "came into this world screaming and covered in someone else's blood, and I ain't afraid to go out of it that way!" Yeah, not a good look for someone claiming he was just a victim of circumstance.

In court he said that he was "swept" into the Capitol by the crowd and was only wandering around inside looking for a restroom.

And then they played the interview footage, I hope. "Your honor, the prosecution submits that Big-O is full of shit." "Sustained."

He also testified on the stand and his lies were laughable. The jury probably found them insulting to their intelligence.

Because some parts of america have ridiculously dumb laws. Under any civilised country's law, that boy is a murderer, plain and simple.

Law isn't about what you feel. It's about what you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

u/Kizik Jan 24 '23

I think you'll find that's largely untrue in much of the US.

u/foxhound525 Jan 24 '23 edited Jan 24 '23

Yeah, and by the laws of civilised countries, the guy committed murder, beyond reasonable doubt. Premeditation with the evidence to back it up, followed by shooting down an unarmed man in the street because his fee fees felt threatened. That might wash by mentally challenged American law, but he'd be in prison right now if that was done in a civilised country. About as open and shut as a murder case can be.

u/commissar0617 Jan 24 '23

there's no evidence of actual premeditation. don't grab someone's gun if you don't want to be shot... it's like the pikachuface meme

u/foxhound525 Jan 24 '23

Other than the video footage of him saying he would like to start shooting people before it happened, then him bringing an illegally obtained weapon to the place with the intention to kill people.

And people are well within their rights to disarm a terrorist that has just committed murder, Kyle was not within his right to continue murdering.

You either have a very selective memory, or you're mentally challenged. Either way I'm not interested in any of the verbal diarrhoea you have to contribute.

u/Steveb523 Jan 24 '23

Wtf? He brought a rifle to a demonstration. That’s not evidence of premeditation?

u/ChickenChaser5 Jan 23 '23

The person didnt mention how they felt. They disagreed with the law.
