I would say he needs a summary judgment dismissing all charges because it is crystal clear Floyd died at his own hand not Chauvin’s knee.
That said, I THINK he pulled a smart move. Namely, he hired a cheap lawyer for Trial # 1 KNOWING that Clarence Darrow himself with unlimited staff could not get him off in a local trial with a local, scared to death, jury.
Trial # 2 will likely be a different story. I look for a change of venue, a sequestered jury, and well paid TOP lawyer(s) to represent him. Newt put up the “Kenosha Kid’s” money. I’m betting some rich conservative somewhere in the world will help out Chauvin.
very smart thinking.
