And the fact that they had to dance on the head of a pin to try to say that the evidence that was brought in, where they're talking about things that happened when he was in office.

It's under, I assume, some sort of habeas corpus, free the body claim, saying, look, our theory of the case was it wasn't the choke that killed him. There was other factors that killed him.
