I have no idea what the defense will be. Though I am sure they will blame the victim for being a drug user etc, but I just have a hard time not seeing a conviction in ths case. Of course i thought the same about OJ and others through the years, so who knows.
I just hope whatever happens leads to real changes where needed and without any more violence/bloodshed/rioting etc...as I believe that is even less productive than doing nothing.

I have it on on the background, We're seeing the prosecution opening argument and it is pretty damning. It does sound like the defense is going to go after his death from health reasons, drugs, heart disease. etc.
I think that before we frame up guilty verdicts (and man it should be guilty just based on the video alone). We need to see the framing of the defense case, and how they're going to attack that video.
But the DA went right into definition of reasonable doubt, and reason and common sense. So, he's planting the seed with the jury.
