Even if they didn't plant it. If they fucked up the arrest and search, the evidence may not be admissible in court at all.

That would explain why they want to get anything related to it out in public any other way they can, like interviews and pseudo-documentary bullshit before even providing related materials to the defense team.

Or a mistrial

I mean, plenty of people were saying that right when he was first arrested. The dude was able to evade capture for an entire week while the entire country was on the lookout for him… He even had time to leave memeable fake breadcrumbs, like his backpack full of Monopoly money… And yet he never thought to break apart the ghost gun he used, and dispose of it in random trash cans so they’d be virtually impossible to trace back to him? He had a goddamned manifesto on him, like it was a signed confession?

Yeah, no. His arrest smells like “accidentally” disabled body cams and planted evidence.
