The job of the defense attorney is to do well for his client. Given the video footage, I'd say that a defense attorney has to seriously consider going for a plea if he can swing it. The prosecutor has to weigh the likelihood of the murder conviction.

I don't claim to know the minds of attorneys, but I have to think the defense would want to pursue a plea but the prosecution will reject it and go forward with murder 1.
