Guys, I hate to tell y'all but I'll bet money it won't go to trial. Remember, this is my judicial circuit, and our D.A. is known for favorable pleas for the defendant. In his defense however, he almost has to take whatever plea he can get. The courts are so backlogged if a case goes to trial, their record of wins is not that great because of the time. Witnesses die, forget, change their mind, can't be located and a myriad of other reasons time works against the prosecution. They are glad to just get a guilty plea. In this particular case, without knowing the evidence, I'd bet if the guy will plead guilty to a 20 year sentence, they would take it.
