Let’s see how much time he actually gets.

And she probably had it coming. You know 15 year old girls are. Will have to go through her entire life span and make sure she was as pure as the driven snow before we can justify charging him with anything. And then magically drop the charges.

Under a plea agreement that a prosecutor called “generous,” the state will dismiss four charges including attempted murder and won’t seek sentencing enhancements that would require McKinney to serve a mandatory minimum of five years on each count before becoming eligible for parole.
The prosecutor misspelled 'ludicrous'.
The crime actually charged is not the crime that was committed, judging by the article.
He was wearing body armor and fired into a car of people, and the DA wants to plea it out?
Won't seek enhancements?
That's a travesty.

Generous plea deals come from either:
1) can’t win a case based on charges
2) don’t WANT to win a case based on charges
“Authorities downplayed the political and racial context of the shooting, saying it grew out of a traffic dispute.”
Right. It was just another random occurrence. Their systemic racism stays in place and his firearms usage is normalized. So, obviously no threat with that.
