Has to influence

"Following 248 days of trial in which the court has heard hundreds of statements, including often unflattering descriptions of [her] by former friends and boyfriends, it is possibly the only chance she now has to influence the outcome of the trial, which could result in her receiving a lifelong prison sentence."

Is "has" a full verb or a part of the obligation expressed as "has to influence" in the above sentence?
