I wasn't expecting that US political thingy but was that all real? Republican senate, death penalty etc in the US?

Wow okay that is news for me. Also another question if you're okay with it. I'm guessing that Brett's suggestions to the Blondie to shoot himself is so he can claim mental instability, and that way he can get lesser punishment? Or did I miss something?
I felt the story suddenly turned very serious from morally dubious horny alphaxalpha into something very serious and makes me go

I think Brett just wanted Alexander to feel the pain that Hayden felt, in exchange for the phone and evidence of hazing on it. Hazing in colleges, depending on where you are in America, is illegal. If the public sees the torment Alexander was put through, for also being a beta too (discrimination), they could side with him and argue that this was self defense in a way ig and not premeditated. Arguing insanity is something that barely passes in court in the states

I'm not as well versed in politics either bcz I don't like politics and it holds zero interest for me. But I have heard of presidential pardons and the like. Though I don't know much at the state level.
Also, this is a lengthy write up in response to someone who wrote they didn't understand what was going on.
Feel free to read it or not:
Super long explanation:
The blonde kid, Alexander, whose family runs a perfume business, is forced by them to pretend to be an alpha to enhance their perfume business (Brett said Alex's family did all the paperwork to make him look like an alpha). He was never "welcomed" in this alpha/frat and was constantly bullied. Alexander probably doused himself in alpha perfume right before he appeared in front of the crowd and shot Nathan, who is his primary bully, in the head. Nathan is the other blonde dude. Nathan and frat friends have been bullying Alex for ever, and Alex finally exploded. Nathan is an absolute scumbag who had it coming. I think Nathan was also the alpha who tried to make a move on Brett. Anyways, at the party, Brett was very conscious of what was happening, so he grabbed the phone of the dying Nathan, unlocked it using Nathan's face, then downloaded as much photos and videos from the Cloud back onto Nathan's phone. There's a bunch of hard evidence of bullying recorded on his phone
He then went to see Alexander after he had been released on bail. Brett (prob did hurt his arm slightly but) made it seem as if he had hurt his arm when he was tackled by Hayden. So he had it "bandaged" up and placed in an elbow support, whereupon he actually hid the gun he was going to give Alexander. I don't know why he was helping Alexander out, because, as it stands, Alexander was going to get the sentence for first degree murder, AND had also shot AT BRETT as well. So he said, here's the evidence for your bullying, and handed him the phone which belonged to Nathan, whom EVERYBODY had wanted to get their hands on. But, he says, this is still not enough evidence to back him for a reduced sentence. He also said: he basically will "overlook" the fact that it's not a mass-killing spree, as Alexander had locked eyes with him RIGHT BEFORE shooting him as well, which indicated 100% murder intent and not an "accidental shot", which would have made him a mass murderer, into making it an impulsive decision to ONLY shoot at Nathan. Thus, his sentencing will only include 1 count of manslaughter (Nathan) instead of an additional account of attempted manslaughter (Brett). So basically Brett said he wasn't going to charge him with attempted murder as well. He's "letting him off the hook". Is Brett that magnanimous?!? Idk. He then went on to say that, out of everyone involved, no one is going to testify on your behalf, so your best bet is to take that gun and shoot yourself with it. This will make it look like you're more of a victim (I guess) and will garner more empathy (bcz no one is testifying for you so....and make sure you shoot yourself here (pointing to his left shoulder)) because the bullet that had been meant for me had pierced Hayden instead. Brett said, are you now afraid to shoot yourself now that everything is over? Weren't you going to do that anyways that day after shooting (us) if you hadn't been tackled to the ground? (Basically commit suicide). Basically saying he lacks courage now. He lacks courage to shoot himself even though he didn't when it came to others. (I could be wrong about the suicide attempt though so don't quote me on that. But it seemed Brett did indicate that.) But Brett told him, you have plenty of people guarding you right outside, don't worry, you'll be saved. So he did just that. Then Brett went to see Hayden. He also convinced Alex that if he didn't do anything, he will get nothing short of a life sentence and depending on who gets in the office, he might even get the death penalty, something about Republicans getting into office (elections are every four years?!?) I'm not versed in politics. Anyways, Nathan's family, the Weavers, are in politics and have a lot of political sway, he said that if the phone is submitted as evidence they will do a close trial, which seems to go against Alex's favor. So he's giving him all of these advices to Alex. Dunno why he's helping him though, considering that Alex had aim and shot AT him INTENTIONALLY. And he also advised Alex to do so as soon as possible, since if the Weavers is elected his chances of a favorable outcome is slim, shooting himself now, take advantage of ppl's interest in high profile cases, swaying public opinion IN HIS FAVOUR. And (possibly) because Alex's family, hailing from France, is viewed as an outsider, and isn't "welcomed" in this "neighborhood", aka part of town. So it's best he does everything he can to win public favor, and the sooner the better, in this case, to make "a wave" with public sympathy. If he does he will only be looking at a 10-20 years sentence instead of a death sentence or life sentence without the possibility of parole (aka life behind bars). The other gunshot motive to the shoulder is to avenge the shot Hayden had taken for him when Alexander had aimed at him (Brett).
Holy crap, I’m so sorry Yaguchi
