Murder is a tough charge to beat in the US. If you find yourself charged with it...regardless of whether or not you committed the crime, you can expect that the prosecution is sitting on a case that will convince a jury.
In this case we appear to be worried that the prosecution is sitting on a particularly damning video. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they are. Defense, however, is not sitting on video or any other evidence which they believe will convince a jury that the prosecutions case is faulty. They'd have lead with that, and not a plea deal to murder.
If anyone is hoping to be able to bank on the preexisting opinions of jurors beyond what can be screened out by selection, it's the defense. They may already be spending their time on crafting an appeal.
