They also charged 2nd degree, so even if the 1st fails he still might get convicted. Although maybe just the fact that they tried 1st could influence the jury into acquitting for 2nd as well for some reason? Who knows.

and gives him a soapbox in front of the jury to explain why he did it

Why wouldn't he have that with just a 2nd degree charge?
