    That doesn’t explain why he keeps mogging the camera, or what he yells to the journalist in that one video.

    I don’t know if it’s him, but I think whoever it is, is just following their lawyer’s advice, not trying to be a martyr

      The thing is they’ve actually made a mistake charging him with terrorism. It is surprisingly narrowly defined so even without a sympathetic jury he might get a not guilty verdict for it and it weakens the whole case against him. But most of all by including it they’ve made all his intentions and politics central issues to the case. All the evidence and his statements about this will have to go into the public record. If he had pleaded guilty that wouldn’t happen nor would there be a chance for jury annulment. Pleading not guilty is simply the smarter option to take.
