I would surmise the DA did not want a conviction and felt the ricochet would keep him from the murder conviction and if he brought no lesser charges the perp would skate and be convicted only of possession. Kind of a reverse Bernie Goetz.

A “reverse Bernie Goetz”? This piece of trash has no identity whatsoever with Bernie Goetz.

I see your point.
