This has been kicked around on FR a couple of times as well on a couple of gun boards I frequent. This is also somewhat local to me so people talk about such things on local Facebook boards. The most frequent theory is that the DA was friendly to the bail agent since she ensures her clients show up for court. Therefore, he “overcharged” with the 1st degree murder charge where the jury couldn’t back up to a 2d degree or manslaughter alternative. He knew the case couldn’t meet 1st degree and the jury would return the not guilty verdict because they couldn’t check all the blocks.

Yes, exactly right!

Thanks for the info. What you said reminds me of Zimmerman. They overcharged him big time. The most they could have got Zimmerman on was negligent homicide.
Wouldn’t it be a kicker if they managed a guilty verdict anyways?
