Look there is a very very good chance that this kid will probably do a lite sentence, but he's probably not going to walk. The legal system is controlled by the Bourgeoisie just as much as the legislature or executive. The question is, does the ruling class really want to grant a license to kill to a bunch of Qanon nutjobs? I'm sure some do, but mostly they don't. They don't like BLM and they want the "radical leftist rioters" to be dealt with but they don't want Randy the Boat Mechanic to be out in the streets blasting people with his AR-15. They know that if this kid gets off scott free there will be armies of chuds in the streets dumping mags into anyone who so much as bucks at them, and that it's liable to escalate to a near civil war once the protestors start shooting back. The ruling class doesn't want a fucking civil war. The DA knows this and the judge knows this, and they have to keep the Bourgeoisie happy.
If I had to guess, they will give him a sentence harsh enough to deter most chuds but lite enough that people don't think he's being crucified. Pulling numbers out of my ass I'm thinking 10-15 years no parole.
I'm not optimistic, I'm just looking at the legal system for what it is: a tool of the Bourgeoisie to keep the proles in line. Our interests basically never align with the Bourgeoisie but they kind of do in this case. If anything, I think most people are being irrational on here thinking that "hellworld" is real and that reality is out to get us. In a case like Zimmerman's, there wasn't a real threat of popular uprising due to his acquittal, but circumstances have changed since then. They know if he's let off things will only get way way worse, and they're already hurting from the massive economic depression we are in. He's not going to get locked up because they care about the protestors or even because the "rule of law". Only because they don't want a civil war.

People get convicted of murder without video evidence all the time, and there are tons of potential witnesses here.
