"Lesser charges"???? How about Z E R O charges and kyle gets to sue the absolute shit out of the prosecutors!!!!!
I thought that was illegal.
Me too! He's already on trial so isn't it too late to change the charges? Are they throwing this case so they can try again?
Not versed enough to answer as to legality, but we all know this is a political show trial that should have never happened.. so I suspect that the prosecution will try to end it in a way that allows them to try again.
They'll take as many kicks at the cat as it takes. That should communicate something. How many of the Boxes Of Liberty are left?
We non-lawyers would assume that the defense strategizes in relation to the charges, so it seems that adding or altering the charges mid-trial would give the prosecution an unfair advantage. Sort of bait and switch.
Im sure they want to try a plea bargain type deal where Kyle is "guilty" but sees no jail time. This way the left get their lamb, and the right is appeased
Kyle should agree to plead guilty to misdemeanor gun possession as a minor with all other charges dropped. Do 100 hours community service.
He killed a pedo. Thats community service right there
No, he definitely didn't break that law.
They argued that point for a while. It sounded like in that State it is Under 16. Kyle was 17 at that time.
Nope,that would be a 'Fed.Crime' as such,Kyle would never be allowed to own,purchase,or possess a weapon. Deal breaker.
Exactly what I came here to say. It seems like they'd need to bring all of the witnesses on again so defense could ask new questions to address the new charges.
WTF? theyre allowed to move the goalposts now that theyre losing?
I thought you couldn't change charges mid trial? So many cases fall apart because the prosecution asks too much.
Tree of Liberty definitely needs refreshing
This is GREAT. now the jury can NOT GUILTY on every charge great and small
Inaccurate headline. That's not what is happening.
