The video of the lawyer?
I really, really don't understand this part. So he ruins her career all so they could have a mistrial?
I'm not sure the thinking behind this.
It was wishful thinking on Stone's part. He believed that if the judge saw the inappropriate relationship between Nas and his lawyer, that it would show grounds for a mistrial due to an obvious conflict of interest. Stone didn't think there was any chance Nas was going to be found not-guilty and basically did this out of desperation. If he DID get a mistrial, there was a slim chance the prosecution would drop the charges rather than investing more time, money, and resources into another lengthy trial.
