McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.
It's my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It's often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.
By doing this, they're basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.
Purely to try and scare people/send a message.
When he's rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like "owning an unregistered firearm", this could come back to bite them in the ass.
But who knows. I've been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.

That just sounds like capitalism
Yes, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Illusions, Michael. Tricks are things hookers do for money. ... Or candy!
So do we all.
Nothing good you mean
That's exactly what they're used for. It's to prevent a vehicle from going too far in that direction, which would typically damage a structure or something expensive or harmful
I think you mean... Beegoted.
