    Pleading not guilty means “I want a trial, prove I’m guilty”, NOT “I’m innocent”

    I don’t know who he is, or what he did, but this isn’t news worthy

      Mayor of New York City. Not sure what your threshold is for important, but it needs adjustment

      It’s a major world city with a history of corruption. All of this is big. There may even be others involved we don’t know about.

      Well, he’s the Mayor of New York indicted on corruption charges. I’d surmise that’s objectively news worthy.

      He’s the mayor of a little place called New York City. Maybe you’ve heard of it?

      “Mayor of the most populated city in the United States being indicated and making his plea isn’t news worthy” is a hella weird take ngl

        Pleading not guilty is standard procedure. I’d be more surprised if he plead guilty right out of the gate.

          I doubt they’d announce charges without the plea if it was guilty. Adams and his lawyers would have been in communication with the prosecutor to discuss plea deals. Had they come to an agreement the headline would instead read like “Adams to plead guilty to [insert crimes here].”
