I followed this trial all the way to the Seventh Court Of Appeals. It appeared to me that Mr. Halprin did an outstanding job while facing a "mountain of compelling evidence."
Given Mr. Halprin's legal skills, Lombardo may have had a chance in a separate trial.
Possibly. They didn't have much physical evidence against him. If I remember correctly, though, they had the fingerprint on the car registration used to kill Danny Seifert, and also a few witnesses who testified to hearing him bragging about it on the golf course, etc.
