Mr. Charles' top charge was Attempted Murder, a First Degree felony. If convicted, he was looking at up to Life in State Prison. At the beginning of the case, the Government's offer was 30 years of State Prison with a 25-year State Prison minimum mandatory prison term. After careful analysis, and hundreds of hours of case preparation, Mr. Charles decided to take the case to trial. After three days of trial, and the effective cross examination of several State witnesses, the case pled to the lesser charges of Aggravated Assault with a Firearm and Criminal Mischief, a misdemeanor offense. As for the punishment component plea, he pled to time he had already served awaiting trial, which was 2 years.
