IIRC, that was in an interview rather than in court, so its not on the record legally speaking. Now of course, his lawyer would have to pull off the mother of all arguments to make it so that that interview would be kept out of the court in this case, but it is a non-zero chance (just that non-zero is like 1%, if we are generous).
As another comment pointed out, Gaige is also on the witness stand admitting to approaching with a weapon drawn and attempt to kill!
So, what exactly can they do for what is clearly malicious prosecution?
And I'm pretty sure he's also on record as saying, "I wish I'd pulled the trigger."
