I think this guy wants to represent himself so that he is the one to question the victims. I think that's what all this is about. The fact that he brought up the fact that he didn't see the victims in the courtroom and was focused on that is very telling. He's nuts.

[@rachxllx2206]

That is exactly what I was thinking. He was counting on it. I bet it's all he could think about. 😠

[@psinclairjr]

Agree 💯

[@ghost307]

He's planning to get off by intimidating the victims during questioning.

[@atzuras]

He thinks the case will be dismissed if the victims do not show up or some stupid SovCit BS. He's watching the wrong KZbin videos.

[@cookiesmom2079]

Good point 🤔

[@thelostone6981]

Honestly,these are the ones that give chills. He’s charged with S.A., offer probation, kept bringing up the victims being there in court, and will walk the streets after all of this.

[@aprilleerose]

Yep, it’s scary!

[@Haarschmuckfachgeschafttadpole]

He want's to go to trial which would force the victims to come testify and he would be able to examine them. Horrific and gross, but that's his right. They have to come. That's why the state is offering him a plea deal that does not include the sex offense.

[@sallyskellington3024]

Yes he is scary. I know it's hard on the victims to have to testify, but in order to get any type of real justice, they should testify and put this man away for a long time. And before people jump all over me, yes I've been a victim of SA.

This guy would have gotten no jail and not have to register. Some of these plea deals make me question our judicial system. He already violated his bond by going back to the library and did the same thing he is charged with. Then the prosecutor offers him a deal with no jail time and he can get out and go right back to the library. Make it make sense. This guy is going to reoffend.

[@sirrobin8601]

I don't know anything about the case, but the prosecution has to weigh what they believe they can successfully prove to a judge or jury beyond a reasonable doubt. SA cases in particular are likely not very often cut-and-dry cases. It's likely usually a matter of he said she said. There's probably not a lot of physical evidence to work with. So proving that it happened being a reasonable doubt is likely very difficult. So instead of letting the person potentially completely walk away without any sort of consequence, they try to get them on a lesser punishment.

[@TrevorMom]

He seems awfully anxious to see his victims. That's scary.

[@spacecoastmed]

Doesn't seem to be play with a full deck. I'm not really a fan of a plea deal that removes his need to register as a sex offender.

Back in the mid-2010s, when I was living in Arizona, there was a local case similar to this and I remember when I first heard about it on the news I turned to my partner and expressed my utter disgust at that sort of behavior. I was not expecting him to rebut my argument with, 'well what about that guy's right to privacy?'. I was horrified! The relationship didn't last long beyond then but I sometimes wonder if my ex became a SovCit. He certainly had the potential....always arguing against government regulations and the law and proclaiming his inalienable rights to do certain things under a constitution he didn't seem to understand very well.

[@Lady1974M]

@@cambiata That's actually not true. Japan's legal system operates under the same adversarial system that America's legal system does so defendants in small matters are perfectly able to defend themselves if they choose, as is their right. Problems arise during large criminal matters because (just like in America) an incarcerated defendant in Japan will not have the freedom to view certain documents pertaining to protected witnesses or attend court to choose jury members. Therefore, in jury trials all defendants must be represented by counsel. But if the matter is a parking ticket or something small, a Japanese defendant absolutely has the right to appear as their own counsel. Their constitutional rights are very similar to those held by Americans.
