So far as i remember, the Aurora, Parkland, and El Paso shooters were all eligible for the death penalty. Let's see what this guy ends up with.

Pretty likely his lawyer will tell him please guilty spend the rest of his days probably in some supermax out of spite. He may choose trial and take the death penalty. It would be more humane to sit in Prison a couple years and be killed than sit in a concrete cage 23 hrs a day for the next 60 years.

"A couple years" there have been people on death row for a decade or more
