Not guilty plea means going to trial, weeks worth of evidence presenting, questioning etc Guilty plea means straight to sentencing, no work, very little cost. Death by dangerous now carries up to life in prison anyway so judge can give the same sentence as he would for murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbow Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 It's such a sad story, Marcia Grant was obviously a well-loved person who gave a lot of her time to helping others, so for her life to end like this is just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It explains the reasoning behind the decision. The last sentence just shows that it's still going to have a similar or same outcome. They have a confession and enough evidence for a murder conviction, it's just easier and cheaper to go with the lesser charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A confession to the manslaughter charge and as you say , with roughly the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A confession before any charge was decided. "police at the scene noted that the boy said: "Is she dead?", "looks like I got my first kill" Undoubtedly caught on their bodycams therefore evidentiary, ergo a confession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
