The odds are pretty slim of the DA going ahead to trial for murder - as any decent defense lawyer could beat even murder 2.
I'll bet the DA doesn't want to try this case at all - because it's a dead fish of a case. Win and you piss off the cops - who you have to work with every day -- lose and you piss off the public and riots ensue - and you are the dumb fuck who botched the case....
Lean on the defendant with murder - and 25 years time - let them plead out to man 1 -and 10 years - and you get out of it without looking like a schlub.....
Possibly. Worth noting that the other cop involved is the state's witness.
At least til he gets on the stand....
Were I the DA I wouldn't stake my rep on it...
