a question regarding the tragedy at the Tacoma Mall
Since I am no lawyer, and certainly no legal scholar, forgive my ignorant question. Everybody knows that the Tacoma Mall shooter, Dominick Maldonado, is guilty as all hell--including Dominick Maldonado. So what's the advantage of a not guilty plea?

Using the insanity defense means pleading not-guilty. Maybe he's going that road, what with the aforementioned "issues" he has.
Ah, that makes more sense. I always thought that you entered a specific plea, though--"not guilty by reason of insanity." But that's because all my courtroom experience consists of a few hours of Law and Order, Perry Mason, and My Cousin Vinny.
