Anyone saying he's wrong about the intent and effect of the press release statement, do you think reading a statement like that about yourself isn't going to influence your thinking? Their press releases were intended to drum up public support and paint him in a certain light. That most definitely has an effect on a defendant, and it is most certainly intentional. Linus is right. Further, when you're in the wrong (even partly), the only appropriate thing to do is to apologize. Not defend or justify or half-apologize with an explanation to try to gain sympathy, but to man up and say you're sorry. Anything less from this prosecution team is pathetic and sickening.
