OK here's the deal.....prosecution fucked up by NOT charging him with manslaughter. Instead, they charged him with 2nd degree murder, with a 'no lesser charge' option. In other words, they have to charge him with the crime that can stick. If he is found 'not guilty' of murder 2, they can't go to a manslaughter charge, or lesser crime...it's either murder 2 or nothing. Based on that alone, he will be acquitted, because the criteria has not been met by a murder 2 charge.
Folks, this will amount to nothing more than courtroom theatrics..and the prosecution knows it.
Those who know ANYTHING about courtroom antics, KNOWS that the prosecution is performing just like a guy who knows he doesn't have a strong enough case to convict (standard law school training..101).....just to appease the public 'outcry'. Just watch, you'll see.
Am I rooting for acquittal?..No, not particularly...just that the truth comes out, the verdict comes down, and whatever it is, everybody will accept it, and shut the fuck up.

By the way, I DID mention this before, in a couple of earlier posts..that you DON'T want him to be charged, unless they have a strong case..(they don't)...now if they drag it out long enough, the tension may ease up, and not have the sharp re-action, as if it was being 'tried' this week.

You'll see.
