Spoke on background with two attorneys who have defended officer involved shootings. Both have always taken their cases to trial. After reviewing the events today, both said if it were their client they’d advise: -Seek a plea deal -Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime or a lower sentence -Accept anything that isn’t de jure LWOP (life with out parole) In other words, the guys who defend police officers shooting for a living, think this case is unwinnable. They would try to defend his actions, they’d just try and lower the impact of the outcome. Their main sticking point were: -“I could argue shot number one and hope for an acquittal or a hung jury - but I can’t get there on shots 2 and 3” -“A jury will not get passed the turning of the wheels” -“Denying medics throws self defense out the window”
