None of this is a surprise to me. I could see something was very wrong with him well before he was elected.
Might be more to the point. Just say you didn't believe you could prove intent - the ad hominem about being too sympathetic and senile to get a conviction just seems unnecessary and overtly political.
That explanation is just utter bullshit. Do prosecutors factor that in? Possibly. But it seems to be more a case of fearing jury nullification, and that's not a prosecutor's concern - you either can prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt or you can't.
