    Allow his defense lawyer play up that he killed that fucking CEO because someone he loved died

    That would not be admissible at trial.

    The purpose of a trial is to present or rebut evidence that he killed the CEO. Anything extraneous to that is not allowed.

    The exception would be if he were trying an insanity defense, which almost never succeeds.

      Please it will be brought up. It goes to motivate. Again rhey will not let this hero go to trial. Besides they won’t get a jury to convict him.

        They don’t need to prove motive, and plenty of juries would convict.

        It won’t go to trial, but only because if he’s caught then his best bet is to take a plea bargain.
