I'm just assuming that "best interests of my client" mean that a defense lawyer will do anything they can to keep a case from even getting to trial to begin with. That's why I'm thinking that someone in the prosecution made the decision to proceed anyway with a "let's nail this little perv to the wall" mentality that's now blown up in their faces.
Remember all the outrage all over the media over this guy ?
There lies your answer as to why this went to trial.
Now let's watch all the outrage when he walks.
Next step is 'special courts' for sexual assault, with specially trained judges and
prosecutors, and any challenging of witnesses and 'victims' is not allowed.
Presumption of innocence hurts my feelings.
