Not a lawyer, but this feels like it could backfire on the government. If they don't offer an alternative to murder, i would imagine there would be a higher chance of him being found not guilty should there be any level of uncertainty in the jury.

Whole thing is already beyond tainted

Saw a youthbe video, prosecutors didn't turn over evidence within required time line. Presumably there is a court filing of support this claim.

I didn't check myself

I think the reference is more about how much harder it is to prove a capitol case versus proving lesser charges. He may get off completely if the jury won’t convict.

Oh this absolutely will backfire.

People get bolder when they realize they have nothing else to lose.
