I mean, is this his first trial?

Exactly. Like you said, I'm sure there is more to it, but that quote is insane. I'm not a lawyer but I've watched enough trials to know this is why each side has expert witnesses. To explain why something is/isn't a crime.

Well fundamentally, he has it backwards, especially with how esoteric/novel the theory of this prosecution is.

The burden is on the state. The fact that they're bringing a complicated theory to a jury doesn't mean that the defense explaining this is the convoluted behavior.
