Some of you may be familiar with Ken White, aka @Popehat, who for many years has had a legal blog/podcast/substack. He is a former federal prosecutor and now a criminal defense attorney. He usually has very good insights about criminal cases, and unlike some popular legal commentators, does a good job of not letting his personal feelings color how he thinks cases will unfold. From early on he was saying that prosecutors wouldn’t have even taken this case had there not been so much political weight behind it, and that it would be a very heavy lift for them to get a conviction.

At least on the murder charges. I’d have to re-listen to his podcast to see if he ever touched on the possession charge.
