Watching Judge Schroeder and the Lawyers Argue About the Jury Instructions...
They are arguing about whether first degree reckless endangerment or second degree reckless endangerment is appropriate. For reasons that I do not understand, the defense attorney seemed to be arguing for the first degree charge and prosecutor arguing for second degree. I think the defense is trying to put a charge not plausible to the jury. Did he engage in actions that showed a reckless disregard for human life? Firing a gun in an area where others were present seems to be the basis for the reckless disregard for human life. Even if in self-defense is not sufficient?
