You would be very surprised my friend. Maybe not no charges but back on the streets in months with another likely illegal gun? Yup, bet on it.

With a good lawyer, yea they will. Did police identify themselves, properly? If not the defendndant was possibly justified in self defense.

We could play reddit court room all day. I've spent enough time in criminal courts to know this is a least dropped to a plea.

They won't even sniff an attempted murder charge.

Illegal discharge of a firearm, assault of a police officer and any other ticky tacky shit they can add. All of which will be plead down to assault on an officer.

That holds a max 40yr sentence with no minimum. Really doubt dude gets 40 on a plea. Probably 15 with parole eligibility after 10. Again, assuming prosecution actually has the evidence they need. Innocent until proven guilty.

But that's in a perfect world. I got caught up with drugs, cop never showed to any court dates and everything was dropped. I wasn't a small fish. The world isnt perfect.
