For the prosecutor to come out of the gate with a charge of 2nd degree murder, smells like the fix is in. What is 2nd? "Yes, I pointed the gun at the victim and pulled the trigger but I thought the gun was empty" or, ok, " I knew the gun was loaded and I did pull the trigger but I could've swore the safety was on" Tahah must have told the investigators what happened..in exchange for 2nd degree. If Im wrong then when this goes through the D.C. court system, and IF he is Guilty it will be pled out to some cheesy manslaughter or something like it because thats how we do it in dodge. And by the time it goes to trial in 2009 he'll have 2 years in on a 7 year sentance, take 18 months off of that for good time and that leaves 3 and a half in prison. The point Im tryin to make is, If he didnt make some kind of confessing statement then The 2nd degree thing stinks
