Nah, premeditation legally can be seconds. It doesn't need to be planned out. Those people were in his way so he ran them over instead of waiting for them to get out of the way. He made the decision right there to run them over.None of the summaries I’ve read mention prosecution in the opening statements alleging anything racial about the motivation for the attack.
I know based off his social media and the victims of this, there was a lot of speculation by us war roomers. But prosecution doesn’t appear to be attempting to show any motivation. Relying solely on the speeding up in videos to prove pre meditated intent.
So a few seconds. Not days. If this guy had a lawyer the defense lawyer could possibly latch onto that in an effort to show there was no pre meditated intent to kill and that the jury should find 2nd degree murder not 1st.
Yeah there’s a political angle. The victims were random not unlike a mass shooter. And he wasn’t fleeing police at the time he drove into parade. They were out looking for him but not on his tail until he entered the parade path. He also had multiple social media posts with anti-white people comments. He avoided many other parade parties until one with a bunch of old white women.
So it’s all speculation, but there is some theories of this being a racially motivated attack not just a “generic” killing

Day one highlights:
he was thrown out of court moments after proceedings began and appeared via zoom from an adjacent court room
He took off his shoes and shirt, threatened to destroy the courtroom, claimed he couldn't hear the judge on the zoom call but was FaceTiming someone else
said he recognized a juror
He has made a complete mockery of that court room. I have no idea how this trial will proceed.
reality seems to be setting in now
Because he's angling that he's crazy, so she put it on record he's demonstrating good behavior and competence.Why is this high school sounding judge apologizing and praising the defendant? Jesus

Maybe she's trying to encourage good behavior on his part since he's been acting a complete ass since the trial started.I get that I just didn’t think it was the judges job to help either the prosecution or defendant
Last time this piece of garbage will have anyone say anything kind to him.Why is this high school sounding judge apologizing and praising the defendant? Jesus
Yeah Orlando smoked himself just a bit too much meth.He looks and acts like that kid from That’s So Raven.
Orlando something
wait...how is this not 100 pages long? this is the craziest trial ever
it is fascinating. brooks is probably the most unlikable human alive. but the elements are fascinating. the judge will probably become the next judge ito because of it. she is a real breakout star as she keeps her cool, knowing that declaring a mistrial will just make things worse. meanwhile, brooks does everything he can to get that mistrial. so you see a man yelling in court basically unchecked like we have never seen before in court. then we have witnesses clowning brooks over his own dumb questions.Our resident dick holes even tried getting this merged. Not sure how it's a non topic.

People here are too focused on Trump/Biden and trannysi still am amazed nobody is talking about what has to be the most crazy/absurd trial ever. it is all over social media and here nobody gives a shit.
