As far as being "overcharged," we'll see...as that is also arguable.
I think that falls under the phrase..."throwing the book at them."
1. Brooks was shot in the back,TWICE, while running away and not being a deadly threat to the cop (not only is a taser not considered a "deadly" weapon, it was useless after being discharged twice).
2. Rolfe (the skinhead looking shooter cop) kicked Brooks...as Brooks was laying on the ground dying.
3. The other cop (Brosnan), stood on Brooks shoulder...as Brooks was laying on the ground dying.
4. Brosnan 'policing' the brass from the gun, before any attempt at rendering aid to Brooks...who was laying on the ground dying.
5. Rolfe crowing "I got him" after shooting Brooks (twice, in the back, as a reminder).
6. Brosnan is volunteering to be a state witness and step over that "thin blue line"...that has allowed all too many other LEO's in getting off.
Knowing all of these facts, I predict it won't even go to court...but a plea deal will be worked out.
Hopefully, if justice is served...Rolfe will serve a very long time in prison. 
I also predict, that there will be a concerted effort to obfuscate/divert/distract/insert "whataboutism"...into this issue/thread. 
But back to my question...has anyone (given the additional facts revealed today), changed from their original position?

If not...why not?

You are quoting the alleged facts the DA outlined. They are not actually factual. Number 1, the other officer has not agreed to be a states witness, per his attorney this morning. #2 the DA himself said 2 weeks ago the tazer is a deadly weapon. There are more contradictions to his case but, I think you should wait until court to pass judgement. For those of you who think all these cases are cut and dry, you will find out in the end, that they will not result in the convictions people want because evidence is not being presented by the media that does not favor their agenda. Even the George Floyd case is going to be tough to convict because of evidence not being reported about policy, training and unseen footage. Watch and see!
