    I haven’t heard that his defense team is trying to claim that… I feel like if that was reality they would have. Maybe not, but I feel it.

      What would the defense say? “That wasn’t him, just someone who looks similar.”
      They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start.

        Not really… “not guilty” can mean, he didn’t do it, or else he was temporarily insane because he was in pain from his medical condition, or even Ed Snowden’s “yeah I did it and it was illegal but at the end of the day I was right to do it and I think I can convince a jury of that.” Or just the OJ Simpson “let’s talk about something else for a while and change the subject” defense. It could be a lot of things.

        But I do get it that that might be their defense and they’re just not saying anything about it because they’re waiting for the trial to lay out anything at all about it.
