I know what you're saying, and I agree the charge should be murder in the first degree. It's likely, however, her sleaze Clintonite lawyer would plea-bargain down to second degree, and that's
after he's through with his sympathy ploys.
Ms. Mallard should thank her lucky stars that I'm not sitting on that jury.
Her lawyer can ask for a plea-bargain all he wants. The prosecutor does not have to accept it. Only a fool would.
