Part of me wonders how surprised he was at the verdict.

This was a believer. He genuinely thought that if he made his case to a jury that they'd understand, they'd sympathize, and he'd walk out of court a free man.

And everyone telling him the feds have a +96% conviction rate at trial, and that the vast majority of defendant take a plea deal rather than go to trial.... they were just spouting fake news, right?

The judge should be censuring that asshole. The bar doesn't allow lawyers to spread bullshit like that, right?
