Well what do you want? He's clearly guilty, and had he committed his crime in the U.S., he would almost certainly be sentenced to death.

Who said I wanted anything? I'm just stating what's obviously going to happen.

Here's some common understanding of the term "Kangaroo Trial"

1. A mock court set up in violation of established legal procedure.
2. A court characterized by dishonesty or incompetence.

Is it somewhat a Kangaroo Trial because the offender is taken in the crime and admit to have commited the crime?

Then I'm misusing the phrase. What I meant was that he's obviously guilty and will be convicted as such, but he's going to do some rather crazy stuff during the trial. (like declaring self-defense, bringing in other extremists to show he's not insane, etc.)
