Yeah, no jury at all. State charges are still pending, so we’ll see if those continue. Seems unlikely to have a state trial if he’s already plead guilty to federal charges.
Sometimes they’ll wait for them to be released from one prison just to arrest and prosecute other charges. Given the state and federal split I would be unsurprised if that happens here.
So, pleading guilty he doesnt go infront jury? Weird to give all this up now, not showing remorse even.

I dunno though, I’m not a lawyer.

New York specifically has a very strict double jeopardy law. Stricter than the constitutional double jeopardy.
They won’t be able to convict him after the federal case is done.
Taking a lighter sentence or gambling on the death penalty? I wouldn’t call that weird at all.
Death penalty has been off the table already. He’s still facing up to life for these.
