I'm having trouble seeing why the DA would bring these charges on a weak case with an election looming. With all the holes that the defense is poking in the assumed facts, I've got to believe that either the DA knows something that hasn't been made public yet or that he's been lied to. This is too high profile of a case for the DA to indict on a whim, and if it blows up, people are going to remember it.
Let's also pause a second to remember that one of the defendants threated to rape both of the strippers with a broomstick and made racial threats. At least one of them is an asshole with some issues, although that's certainly not illegal.
