In a statement after his client was arraigned, Urbana attorney Anthony Bruno said: “
He’s demanded a jury trial and he plans to persist in his plea of not guilty.”
This lawyer needs to do better. Lawyers are supposed to be good with words, right? Was it really that hard to say :
"He’s FILED A demand for a jury trial and he plans to persist in his plea of not guilty.”
The word "persist" bothers me more than "demanded"...
English is not my first language, but "persist" like "insist", to me sound like "obstinate determination", like "he plans on being stubborn".
The only reasonable doubt is actually the story he tells now, isn't it? "She panicked and he let her get off the car", but in that case, how come we can't see the feed from any other camera ?
After seeing the video shared by Paul Wilson

I know there actually is a lot of cameras along the way, and no matter if she got out of the car or not, it should be possible to track the car for a longer time, shouldn't it?
If the FBI has a recording (from the vigil) where he admits that he did bring her back to his apartment and that she tried to fight him to get free, then how could his lawyer let him plead not guilty? Could it be that BC and his lawyer don't know what evidence the FBI has to this day? Also, at one point I got the impression that the FBI had proof that YY was not alive anymore, I thought they had found photos or video on his phone, but in that case his lawyers couldn't let him plead not guilty, unless he is planning to make it all look like temporary insanity, which is impossible since he was a FetLife user, because of those abduction fantasy subjects, and because he circled around the block with his car to pick her up, even though YY was a victim of opportunity, he was more or less looking for someone to abduct, which means premeditation, which rules out insanity.
How come we could have the video feed from two/three security cameras but not more? I really feel the mystery is being kept on purpose, if the FBI shared that much, then how come they can't share more of what they obviously have? If more people know what they have, then more people can help look for YY or have new ideas... I got used to the amazing efficiency of Hotch and his team in Criminal Minds, I can't believe it is taking so long, and now when thinking of Elisa Lam, and of BC's lawyer words "it could take a year or more", I think there is a chance we will never know, and all we can hear from the FBI now is "we are doing everything we can", or "this is our job, we know what we are doing", when what I see is they are following the protocol, in other terms they are doing as little as the manual allows them to.
