All I need to know about what the attorneys think about this case is the defense is last minute request for a mistrial.

So you absolve Maxine waters from her inflammatory comments, and the judge for stating her comments would be grounds for appeal. which given this fact had the defense not asked for a mistrial would also had been grounds now for appeal for ineffectual counsel.
Maxine waters is who fucked this up, not the attorneys.

The judge even stated that her comments could result in the entire case being overturned.
“I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned.”

Judge denies Chauvin defense's motion for a mistrial, but says Rep. Maxine Waters' comments 'could lead to this whole case being overturned'
Two nights before the jury began deliberating in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, US Rep. Maxine Waters visited Brooklyn Center, Minnesota and called on protesters to "stay on the street" and "get more confrontational" if there is no guilty verdict.
On Monday, the fired Minneapolis police officer's defense cited those words to call for a mistrial.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson said that Waters' comments over the weekend, paired with recent Chauvin content in several fictional TV shows, furthered his earlier argument that the judge should have sequestered the jury and ordered them to avoid all media throughout the trial.
Judge Peter Cahill denied the motion for a mistrial. But he spoke harshly about the elected officials who spoke out about the trial while it was still unfolding, saying they have a constitutional duty not to interfere with the legal process.
"I'll give it to you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you an appeal that could lead to this whole case being overturned," Cahill said.
A message seeking comment from Waters' office was not immediately returned late Monday afternoon.
