Why someone expects a guy who likely murdered three people (including a child) and did so in the ways the evidence is suggesting to have human decency is nearly baffling.
I certainly didnt "expect" that he would, just hoped that maybe after seeing the evidence stacked against him before the trial that he might have a shred of humanity left and possibly spared the family the anguish. I realize its a bit of a dream, but stranger things I am sure have happened.

Also slightly relates to my question a few pages ago too. Maybe Mbates could answer this... How much of the evidence is seen by the defence prior to entering a plea? Would they have known that they were up against a stacked deck and could they have tried to counsel their client that it may not be worth proceeding? Does this happen?
