Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. His attorney just admitted that he did it, so even if they can force a mistrial, it’s on the record. The imminent danger ploy won’t work because the daughter wasn’t present. If what he claims is true why not admit it up front, the CSAM and buggery were already known about by the time he was arrested?
Probably their best shot at a light sentence. Trick is for the defense to prove Hughes had prior knowledge of the child’s porn abuse? This will be hard …
DEPORT HIM! Oh, wait…he’s a homegrown murderer. If his beliefs align with Dear Leader he might be a candidate for a pardon and job in Musk’s intel army.

How many times do you have to stab someone in the neck before you cross the line to being malicious?
