You think they should have taken legal advice from a movie?
You have no idea what you're up against.
Dear nostr,
For all those posting "free samourai", you are just virtue signaling a dead cause.
They pleaded guilty, is game over !
If they were real freedom fighters will never plead guilty and will "play" the court in other way, not with pussy lawyers.
I suggest to watch the old movie "Interstate 60" and see what am I talking about. here is a scene of how to play the court to defend your position.

Watch the entire movie so you will understand why they used metaphorically a bomb-vest in the movie...
You never plead in a court, guilty or not guilty, never plead.
Pleading means you renounce to all your rights, you are a garbage, a slave and they can do whatever they want with you.

You are too stupid to understand what I meant with giving that example.
