I think pleading guilty skips the jury trial entirely.

Plus, I think many people agree that the charges the prosecution brought are not charges he is guilty of. They pushed for terrorism so they could get first degree murder charges instead of a lesser charge.

He may have plead guilty if they had brought more appropriate charges.
