I've seen a lot of homicides start out as 1st deg and then get reduced to 2nd. As I was told, with 1st deg having the potential for the death penalty, it costs more to go that route than 2nd deg which is mandatory life sentence. Amazes me that it costs more to put one to death than it does to house them for the rest of their living days!
Anyway, back on topic, I'm sure the charges will be reduced somewhat. I'd also bet that this young man will likely spend many years in prison for this. Is that right or wrong, I can't say. I don't know what all happened.
Bad deal, either way.
