Thank you...
only 3rd degree and 2nd degree is that so that they can get a conviction ???
I would hope...
Whats the prison terms for those 2 charges ???
OK according to The Office of the Revisor of Stautes, Minnesota Court Rules...Sentencing Guidelines at mn.gov
Offenses subject to a mandatory life sentence.
Severity Level 11
Murder 2nd degree (Intentional Murder, Unintentional drive by Shootings)
Severity Level 10
Murder 2rd degree (Unintentional Murder)
Murder 3rd Degree
Severity Level 9
Murder 3rd Degree
Severity Level 8
Manslaughter 2nd Degree Culpable Negligence
as of 2017
609.195 Murder 3rd Degree ...prison for no more than 25 years or a $40,000 fine or both
609.205 Manslaughter 2nd degree Culpable Negligence ... prison for no more than 10 years or a fine of $20,000 or both
I couldn’t find any other Manslaughter 2nd degree which means the “culpable negligence’ would have to be proven and a jury of his peers and this in Minneapolis so they will mostly be fellow moslems would have to agree on that charge..
