Rodby had argued that Maugaotega never intended to shoot Kawamoto but did so after Kawamoto balked at being ordered to go down the steps leading to the home's lowest level.
Rodby asked the jury to find Maugaotega guilty of no more than first-degree assault, which would have resulted in a sentence ranging from probation to up to 10 years in prison.
Rodby said he "realized going in" that it would be difficult to defend Maugaotega on the charges he faced.
Rodby's résumé would seem to indicate that this philosophy has served him well over the last three decades.
