---------The Charges---------

  • Count 1: First-degree reckless homicide for Rosenbaum.
  • Count 2: First-degree reckless endangerment for McGinniss. Jury can opt for lesser charge of 2nd degree reckless endangerment.
  • Count 3: First-degree reckless endangerment for Jump Kick Man.
  • Count 4: First-degree intentional homicide for Huber. Jury can opt for the lesser charge of 2nd degree intentional homicide or 1st degree reckless homicide.
  • Count 5: Attempted first-degree intentional homicide for Grosskreutz. Jury can opt for 2nd degree attempted homicide, 1st degree reckless endangerment, or 2nd degree reckless endangerment.


My prediction...

2nd Degree Reckless Endangerment for McGinniss
1st Degree Reckless Endangerment for Grosskreutz.
1st Degree Reckless Endangerment for Jump Kick Man.

That's at least a decade or more in prison. I think. I don't know. But the jury went 8 hours today and didn't reach a verdict. Someone in that room ain't quitting without some kind of guilty verdict. The easiest compromise is Reckless Endangerment. One count of 1st Degree Reckless is 12.5 years max plus a possible extra 5 for the gun. He faces 2 counts of that plus a 2nd degree reckless.

People talk "hung juries." But the jury isn't going to just throw it all in the trash when an easy compromise is available.
