Actually in Missouri the appropriate charge ought to be First Degree Assault, which is punished as a Class A Felony and can carry a life sentence. From a prosecutorial point of view there is no reason to charge "attempted murder," since it requires the State to prove an "intent to kill" which merely increases the burden on the State without any additional punishment/time.

works for me.

It sounds better in the media, but over indicting/charging can get blow black from a jury when the State/Government fails to meet their burden of "intent to kill."

well, all prosecutors do this. overcharge. nothing new here, Perry Mason


Either one in Missouri will be a Class A Felony, so the punishment range is the same, and the judge can assess a life sentence ... especially for two deadly weapon assaults ... on police officers who are considered in Missouri (as most Model Penal Code states) as a "special class" of victim. In Texas police officers are lumped in with "public servants" as a "special class" of victims, and aggravated assault on a peace officer (public servant) is a 1st degree felony in Texas as well.

Of course, shooting at cops gets you some heavy time in prison (if you make it to prison) but shooting just people can be plea bargained down to simple assault.

BULLSHIT! If I believe anything this jerk's lawyer has to say. Cops were shot in the performance of the their duties (he can't claim self defense) and he should go down for trying to KILL two cops. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

What does it say about the frame of mind of certain people when they say that shooting a pistol into a crowd with the hopes of hitting someone "isn't that bad".

Unbelievable.

The truth is simply fact. No one source or agency owns it.

This whole thing is about a lawyer. He (or she) knows that shooting at, even if he missed, a cop gets more time than just shooting into a crowd. This is kind of like taking the fall for a robbery on the other side of town which gets you an alibi for a murder you did on this side of town.

Well, look at the bright side (glass 1/2 full). The lawyer (and I "assume" the thug aka "client") has confessed to having the pistol, holding the pistol, and shooting the pistol all at the same time when the two officer's were struck with rounds from the pistol. That is the State's "case-in-chief" and now the shooter takes the stand and explains .... err.... who he was actually trying to kill....

then the State rebuts with evidence that the genius could not have possibly been trying to shoot x, y, or z from the position at which he discharged the pistol in the direction of the officer's.

Now he's admitted pulling the trigger, but lied about his intent/motive. Then when he pleads for mercy on punishment, he'll be a lying sack of shit when he says he's sorry!

he's claiming the cops roughed him up and he has the bruises to prove it

and the "pastor" says he believes it and that he was "set up" by the police and the confession was beat out of him

just another item in the long line of hatred and racism and tribalism trumping truth and right or wrong once more.

get ready for an O. J. jury and maybe another emmett till in the making

another cause celebre for all the "fair minded" dims?

Based on the last "investigation" reports in the media ... my best answer is:

"I don't know."

Matching a slug or shell casing to his pistol doesn't put the pistol in his hand at shooting time with him pulling the trigger. The forensic/physical evidence will substantiate his "confession" (which is required ... some "independent" additional evidence to support it) ... and in the event he claims as is posted above that the confession was coerced, then the forensics becomes even more important.

Lawyer's need to understand the 5th amendment also, and quit trying to get air time to build their practice.
