[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3094068, member: 9374"] I just had another thought.... a scary one. How possible is it that this D.A. who presented this case with ONLY the option of a first-degree murder conviction knew damn good and well what he was doing, and that the jury wouldn't be able to convict based on that? That they [B]COULD [/B]convict on a lesser charge, but he chose to keep that option from them because no one really cares that this guy is dead? I mean, was he up for second-degree murder charges or not? I thought I had read that, but the article only says burglary. My thought is that he was a repeat offender ("I'm not going back to jail," he said) and the D.A.'s office doesn't give a good ******* he's dead, they work with this bail agent all the time, they have a good relationship, they help each other out all the time, and maybe the D.A. was giving her a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge," trial, knowing he [B]had [/B]to charge her with something, but also knowing he couldn't make first-degree murder stick, so he gives the jury a case they can't convict on. She walks, he gets to say, "Hey, man, I tried, right?" and everyone goes home except the dead guy. No skin off their nose, he won't be breaking the law anymore, she's probably done as a bail bondsman, and life goes on. Scary thought. [/QUOTE]
