Various legal kiwis: because of the high-profile nature of this case(global attention), can the officers expect all the top law firms in the country fighting for the windfall of defending any of these 4 officers charged in the Floyd arrest pro bono? I assume it's desirable to be associated with the case no matter which side you're on, especially if you end up getting one or some of them off charges or greatly reduced, like free advertising.
No. This is something lawyers did in the 90's and early 00s. No high powered attorney wants the bad press of daring to give competent legal counsel to someone the mob wants dead. More importantly though, todays law schools are firm believers in restorative justice and manipulating the law into getting the desired outcome rather then the legal or correct one. So a young hot shot lawyer looking to make a name for themselves won't do it either.
