According to the article DNA tests are pending. If they come back a match to DT's DNA will and can charges be upgraded then?
I was thinkin the same thing at first-why with all the incriminating evidence isn't it already a 1st degree charge?? When I started researching the difference between 1st and 2nd degree, it seems the diff in charges isn't about incriminating evidence, it's more about the murderers state of mind. Basically first degree is planned, thought out, premeditated..... Where as 2nd degree is "yes he murdered her but it was in the heat of the moment and not premeditated". So I guess DA would have to prove he planned on taking her life that night before the struggle. I don't think it's a matter of "who did it", I'm pretty sure the evidence established that.....now we just need to fill in the blanks, why,how,when etc. anybody pleez correct me if I'm wrong describing the legal terms.
