The all-or-nothing prosecutorial approach is always a bad idea in high profile cases. I really don't understand what drives prosecutors to do it. Various cases of NY police shooting unarmed people and being charged with murder come to mind as well.There's reckless and there's reckless. In cases where clearly the defendant didn't head out in the morning telling himself "I'm gonna kill someone today" it's incredibly hard to prove the recklessness was so extreme as to constitute murder. Yet prosecutors keep trying. |
