> Earlier this week, a judge declined Bragg's request to downgrade the charges from murder to manslaughter—because prosecutors once again did not bother to furnish evidence of her domestic abuse. That evidence includes a 2009 police report detailing Murray's arrests, written correspondence from 2018 in which Murray admits to physical abuse, and a 2019 video of a naked, intoxicated Murray attacking McCarter.

The prosecutors really need to explain themselves

If it’s the same team that initially tried to charge her with murder, they might be fucking up on purpose and Bragg may need to fire some people.

I hope they aren't fucking up on purpose, because it's costing this woman more anguish, us taxpayers more money and is wasting everyone's time.

The judge did though and I quoted it. There was no evidence or documentation, which the prosecutors had, for what the prosecution said.

Judge can only rule based on presented info and facts which the DA team didn't provide any in this case
