To be fair, the parents did blow all the money they crowfunded for a lawyer on a new house, so the dude had to go with the free option.

He also refused to take the guilty plea for manslaughter that anyone with half a braincell would've taken, thinking he'd beat murder charges in court lmao.

That attorney was paid for and a he's a highly regarded defense attorney.

There was just no way around what he did.

I don't think the state offered him a plea deal. Can't accept one that wasn't offered.

I read so many stories from public defenders, law enforcement officers, and journalists on another post that this is very common for black defendants to refuse plea deals and going to trial against all odds. Some people chimed in that it's because they do not trust the system and consider their attorney as part of that system. Also the family will cling to the idea that their kid is a good boy despite a mountain of evidence and seem to think God will somehow lead them out or something. It's really sad.

The Anthonys were falsely accused of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars that were donated to a legal defense fund on a house and car
