posing a question for a friend who was charged...
Scenario:
Skeet shooting and homeowner claims rounds were hitting their garage which is located about 300 yrds away.
Questions:
First off, I don't shoot shotguns but that range seems pretty damn far to me.
Second, would local LE be require to conduct ballistics test or something to actually prove this? One person present, who is the homeowner wasn't shooting and was charged as well just for being there.
If the county isn't seeking jail time are they still entitled to a jury trial?
Their attorney wants them to cop to a plea but I think he's just being lazy.
Any insight would be appreciated.
