I don’t know what you mean? What does baseball smarts have to do with the shooter? They caught the shooter red handed. He’s not going to get away no matter who his lawyers are.
I don't know that it matters much for him. If someone pays you to kill someone and you then manage to not kill the guy, get caught, and your arrest leads back to the source (as it seems to, with so many people arrested) you're probably on borrowed time no matter whether you're found guilty or not and regardless of what sentence you get.
