Or a plea deal.

Kenoi and his lawyers have repeatedly denied that there will be a plea bargain, but that could just be posturing, especially if things look grim once the trial is underway. I think it is more likely that they are hoping to sneak at least one hard-core good old boy sympathizer onto the jury and get a mistrial by hung jury. If they can get several hold-out jurors on a first mistrial or get a second hung jury at a retrial, the prosecutors would probably give up and let Kenoi walk.
