I believe he was the shooter, and that he should be found not guilty.

Unlikely, but there’s always jury nullification. Which I just realized would be recorded as a “not guilty” verdict, though the implication is “he did it, but we think it’s OK”

iirc jury nullification doesn’t always stick because they can declare a mistrial if it seems fishy.
