The only value these "legal experts" can bring is to distill the potential and eventual charges against a suspect and an understanding of the relevant law such as the potential penalties for conviction.

The rest of it is really pure speculation. They may have experience in criminal law either as a prosecutor or defense attorney, or both, but they come with their own preconceived ideas. They will interpret the facts through the prism of their own experiences and biases.

They can not be relied on to be objective or provide the public with any meaningful information except for the base facts of the case.
