I don't think Judges....well most....simply do whatever the mob wants...and actually does their job of upholding the law.
The fact that you wish and hope that a judge bends to the well of a mob, instead of the law is very telling.
You know the old joke. WHat do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 90? "Your Honor".
Here's the reality- Judges are politicians, and they aren't going to make a political mistake. Nobody really wants to revisit this issue, and after a certain point, even the FOP is going to not want to throw good money after bad doing an appeal.
They should lose their seats if they don't follow the law. Lucky though, if he loses at the MN Court of Appeals, and State Supreme he can take it to Federal Court, and those Judges aren't elected....
I do agree once it's overturned the DA will likely offer a plea and not have a re-trial.
The DOJ is up next.
