How did Governors Abbott and DeSantis plea? Seeing as they publicly committed the same crime that this man is being charged with, they should be standing trial too.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

it's only bad when brown people don't do it but after blame for it
Hopefully he gets actual due process. Finally. After all the crap they've put him through unjustly.
Everyone pleads not guilty. There's ALMOST no reason to do anything else.
Even if he was 100% guilty and knows he's going down for it, you still plead not guilty so you have a chance to plea bargain.
I personally think he's being railroaded, but pleading not guilty is basically meaningless in cases like this.
It's newsworthy only because it's an update that the farce of a trial is still proceeding.
The defendant pleads guilty in around 95% of cases in the US. However that usually comes as a plea deal before court.
Don't please bargains happen before you enter a plea?
You can plea bargain all the way up to the verdict. It's possible to do the whole trail, and during jury deliberation strike a deal and the whole trial gets cancelled.
If you're a cop, you can even get a plea deal after your felony conviction. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-used-excessive-force-allowed-plead-guilty-misdemeanor-felony-c-rcna211380
Not a lawyer. I believe they can, but don't have to as long as you change your stance before the trial begins.
if any of that was true, it would have used before his illegal deportation to legally deport it.
the only trial he needs is with the trump administration and ice leaders for them to be jailed for human trafficking
