It is an extremely weak case. He is unidentifiable by the video, which is their best evidence by far, and any physical evidence is suspect in multiple ways, due to police corruption and corporate/ oligarch pressure. It should be very easy to sow reasonable doubt.
That probably won’t matter to the actual court case, but it was a symbol that the “System” was going to do everything they can to get this guy. It was an attempt to send a message to the citizens, poor and rich alike, that an attack on the rich would not be tolerated. It was supposed to influence public opinion, and the jury pool.
But it backfired spectacularly. The first time i saw that photo, it had a caption like “Jesus is accompanied by Roman Soldiers to his crucifixion.” That was NOT the message they were trying to send.

plus having mayor andams escorting them in a perp walk for brownie points to get trumps attention isnt helping the prosecutors case.
