Correct, manslaughter is not an option. Only 1st degree Felony Murder with Premeditation (if they find with premeditation she gets the Death penalty) OR the only lesser charge the Prosecutor charged her with is 1st Degree Felony Murder (no premeditation) that carries Life Without Parole.
The guy friend said he and Jodi talked about how she thinks this will go. She feels she will have a hung Jury and she will sit in Jail another 5 or so years waiting for a re trial. At her re trial she will be charged with Manslaughter and get 5 years and be out.
What she is assuming is that on the re trial the Prosecutor will add in a lesser charge of Manslaughter for the Jury to pick from and as they say..."In Her Dreams"
seems to me it would be the defense who would want that charge added. no? won't nurmi try to get that lesser included in this trial? or is that off the table?
