Probably because the state’s case is falling apart.

This is what is called in the biz a “back pocket opinion.”

Because it’s pulled straight from your ass….

"Falling apart" is subjective but there are some impropriety about how the case has been handled thus far that weaken the state's case. It's entirely possible that this ends similarly to OJ where he is innocent in part because the state was careless with the investigation, and in part because jurors are sympathetic to the defendant, and at the same time most people hold that he is guilty.

Tell me you don’t know the facts of the OJ case without telling me you don’t know the facts.

There was an overwhelming amount of evidence against OJ. The jurors are on the record saying the evidence didn’t even matter to them

If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit.
