Dear nostr, For all those posting "free samourai", you are just virtue signaling a dead cause. They pleaded guilty, is game over ! If they were real freedom fighters will never plead guilty and will "play" the court in other way, not with pussy lawyers. I suggest to watch the old movie "Interstate 60" and see what am I talking about. here is a scene of how to play the court to defend your position. Watch the entire movie so you will understand why they used metaphorically a bomb-vest in the movie... You never plead in a court, guilty or not guilty, never plead. Pleading means you renounce to all your rights, you are a garbage, a slave and they can do whatever they want with you.
