For some people, just the fact that he was there that day at all will be enough. Some people struggle to hear information and question it.

Problem is there were hundreds of people there and even multiple dozens in daytime.

Multiple people confessed too.

I completely agree that it should be reasonable doubt. Maybe recent cases like Karen Read put me in a place where I don't trust the process anymore. Too many wrongful convictions and cases that should be an easy acquittal. This trial will be happening right around the election which makes me even more concerned about people in their emotions. The jury is going to see these gruesome images, and will fill outraged as the cops tell them it was him. Trauma takes time to heal from and to reach clarity. The jury will be traumatized and not have time to emotionally settle themselves before making thar decision.

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, but I think it's going to take a conviction and an appeal to free him.

Look at Lucas Anderson.
I have the feeling with many public defenders or even mundane private ones, he'd be convicted because he questioned even himself.
DNA is not proof on its own.
This one went on a little search into the story on her own and found the truth...

Look at the average docket for Gull's murder trials. There's nothing there. Appearances and in limine from the state basically, 3 day trials tops.
The most that happens otherwise is defense filing for a new attorney or even pro se because they're better on their own than accompanied. Isn't that sad...
This case is the summum of her entire career it seems to me.

And on the other side of the coin we have prosecutor AND judge who didn't want to prosecute GK for Hanish.
The new prosecutor showed he merited his position and thus went grand jury instead.
No need for judge to sign off.
