I mean those are the same. If you argue that the laws are nonsense, then you are arguing that you are not guilty.

Oh, I misread. The headline I read (not this one) said that he was pleading insanity.

"I'd like to plead insanity. I think the charge is insane. Anyone who takes it seriously could be such as well."

"I don't think I'm insane. I think the law is insane," Dowling said.

I'm not sure it'll go well for him, but I wish him luck, and I wish he had a proper lawyer.
