And this is why Asuka is waifu and rei is not. HA.
He might want to think about getting new lawyer.
Why? Probably setting up for an insanity plea. Sounds like his best defence to me lol
I thought for a moment this was an article about a guy cosplaying a headless character or something. Didnt read the headline lol.
The accused admitted he was no angel…
