I didn't see that in the article but it said he was from New Jersey so perhaps he was renting

Did the DA’s office discover that the suspect intended to do it?

The DA must have discovered something,they got the indictment

It's really easy to get a grand jury to indict, it's not an adversarial process.

That said, presumably the DA wouldn't swing for this unless there was something more there.

Yea ,they won't want the egg on there face better known as an acquittal

Most cases end in plea agreements, so it's not exactly uncommon for prosecution to pile up scary indictments to improve their negotiation position. Plead guilty to a reduced charge or risk a billion years at trial, doesn't require a master of game theory to work it out.

Trial by jury is pretty uncommon outside your high school civics textbook.

Yea true ,plea scaring is an unethical but common tactic.A prosecutor is not supposed to bring charges unless they truly feel thay can prove a case BRD.

Very often they throw on charges to get a better plea,if they charge here murder 2 they can get a longer sentence out of a manslaughter plea.

It would be ironic if the DA's are using Mac book's instead of Microsoft laptops in court.
