I didn't read the articles so I am not sure if I am repeating anything they say, but......
I think Hernandez's best defense at this point is to try and create enough reasonable doubt to suggest that he himself wasn't the actual triggerman. That could be the difference between a sentence measured in years versus one measured in decades.
I am leaning more this way, so far there is a lot of circumstantial evidence with no weapon found we know of, and the one witness, Ortiz, is a heavy drug user who sleeps a lot(induced stupor??) Ortiz has also garnered a few charges and convictions as well. Wallace is the unknown, and he may or may not flip dependent on the charges filed against him.
They could convict him on the circumstantial evidence, but a crack legal team could create enough doubt to make it difficult..
The weapons charges alone, will probably result in significant jail time..
