I just watched something on HLN that has caused this longtime lurker to come and post. I have a question about "lesser included" charges. The TH on JVM were speculating about the plausibility of JA's reported expectation that this trial will end in a mistrial and ultimately mean she'll be convicted of manslaughter. One of the 2 attorneys taking the side of the defense seemed to imply that the most she would be convicted of in this trial is manslaughter. Is this possible? I swear I thought I understood that 1st degree and felony murder are the only possibilities. Now I'm really confused.... Thanks so much (and sorry if this is a "dead horse")
