there's a lot of things he did that make it much worse for him, but none of them really should matter in what actually transpired and how he will be judged by the jury.

You’re right, but at the end of the day it’s up to the jury, and they could definitely convict him of a lesser charge just because they “feel like he should get something.” It might not hold up in appeal, but it could happen in this case. IMO his best bet is that 1/12 just digs their heels in and refuses to convict on anything.
