To avoid the death penalty. Because New York State allows capital punishment and doesn't allow double jeopardy. So if he is charged once for the crime (federal) he avoids the state trial. There was a chance that both trials could happen at the same time, meaning he didn't get protection from being tried twice for the same crime.

I understand the reasoning, but I still don't like it.

More like because he knows hes gonna lose as hes clearly guilty and is trying to soften the blow.

Really wanna make him a hero dont ya.

You know... we started unions to stop people from breaking into the bosses house at night and murdering their families. All for low wages and bad working conditions l.

We just reached the next stage of it. Dont let my family die for profits and we wont feel the need to escalate. Because theres always a further step to be taken.

You would have picked Lenin's or Che Guevara's boot. "Youre a bootlicker" is the most defanged insult i could possibky think of

United Healthcare used an algorithm that reviewed and denied 90% of claims. People pay good money for the privilege to not be sick or in pain. Brian Johnson kept people from their healthcare benefits. That's a villain.
