They couldn't get a grand jury to return a true bill on felony assault. A misdemeanor charge doesn't require a grand jury. However, the defendant still has to plead guilty/not guilty same as always. Still has a right to a jury trial if requested.

He absolutely should request a trial and represent himself after pleading not guilty due to extreme emotional distress. The video needs to be his only evidence.

They likely play is that they get him to plead guilty and then moan about the grand jury.

Oh.. if I was a wealthy guy I'd pay for the attorney and call tons of press conferences about their inability to indict a ham sandwich.
