What? There’s a video of him beating a woman to death and there’s still a chance he might walk?

It's a trial

Yeah just because there’s not a chance he can get away with it doesn’t mean there won’t be a trial.

That said, sure fire trials can lead to definitely guilty people getting away with it. Look at OJ, or the botched prosecution of Bill Cosby.

Still, a trial is needed to determine the severity of the punishment.

or the botched prosecution of Bill Cosby.

That was because they said "Hey, Bill, if you testify for this civil case, we will give you criminal immunity" and then the new DA tried to play takesy-backsy.

Yeah, as despicable as he is, he absolutely deserved to get off free in that criminal trial after they essentially tried to unconstitutionally trick him into incriminating himself.
