You would ass-ume wrongly. The prosecutors reputation is exemplary, and is that of getting convictions, of being very tough and accurate. She didn't need a grand jury. I'm sure she's filed those charges, and not 1st degree murder charges, and not manslaughter charges, because she has evidence that readily meets the definition of 2nd degree murder.

If that's what he'll be convicted of, if he's convicted at all, I don't know what the jury will do.
