if he carried a firearm under 18 years old across state lines he still committed that felony... not sure why it is interpreted as sudden interest when this crime was reported on since the beginning of this event....
Okay, whatever.
Let's just say that there has always been an interest on getting him on as many charges as possible but the homicide charges were the jewels in the crown for them.
Now the focus on the lesser charges is to find a consolation prize for the prosecution.
See if you can spot the difference.
