In some of these cases, they give the jury a choice. Some of the lawyers on television were saying that in cases like this, the prosecutor will often over-charge, then give the jury a choice, and then hope that the jury compromises and finds the person guilty of a lesser charge such as manslaughter.

In some cases, they don't give the jury a choice. It's murder or nothing. I'm sure they will give the jury a choice in this case.
