what about the other victim that was shot? separate charges and trial?

Where in the rule of law does it state that if a victim's family supports the aggressor, somehow the crime vanishes?

That information wasn't posted on here so I can't comment on that charge.

And it's the DA's job to remind those people of the law and what crimes were committed.

He didn’t face a jury.

He plead guilty to manslaughter and will likely serve only about 10-11 years for a murder.

That should not be seen as a win.

Probably dropped the charges in order to get the murderer to agree to pleading guilty to manslaughter so the DA could get a win.

What?

It was a reminder of what I said previously, that this isn't a unilateral decision by the DA and you have to get all 12 jurors.

It's not cut and dry, sometimes even in cases where the facts are cut and dry (which isn't this one).

Juries are comprised of people, mmkay? Hahahahehehaheheeehaaha!

And people are imperfect. People are human beings, you see? Hehehaheeasheheahsheeeha.

Human beings, people, are just living beings, with air in their lungs, with blood in their veins, and a heart in their chest, mmkay?

And those hearts beat, mmkay? And people who are on juries have to decide if another person, human, committed a crime. A crime is the act of doing something that's opposite of a law. It's a mistake, mmkay? And so you see, juries are people.

So you know the facts, but don't know anything about the charges regarding the other shooting victim because it's not mentioned in the linked article?

I don't really pay that much attention to you, but it seems as though you may deserve the reputation you have on the political talk board.

I mean you typed all that out after a bad referential comment to do what, exactly? Quadruple down on the bad comment?

That calculation involves the risk reward of going to jury trial.

A jury trial isn't a mathematical calculation or you just put 2 + 2 and get four. You're dealing with 12 people and you have to convince all that of them beyond a reasonable doubt that all the factors for the specific crime, or it's lesser included, occurred.

I have to imagine the cognitive disconnect that a lot of people are having is how high a percentage chance that a conviction doesn't occur. They seem to be discounting and eliminating that scenario from their analysis. They just read the article and say he's guilty and then make that number zero or something close to zero.

Will he be entering the portal?

Does he have NCAA eligibility left?

In these days of college sports it makes you ponder a short sentence.
