Free legal advice: DON"T plea to a lesser charge- make them take you to trial, and demand a jury. The chances of a jury convicting you are almost nil, because there will always be one or two rednecks like us on this forum that will hang the jury. Remember, you don't have to have 12 people say "not guilty" to "win" here- just keep hanging the jury, and it only takes one voting "not guilty" to do so. They'll get tired of retrying the case after a couple go-arounds, and that will be it. Although maybe you'll get lucky, and actually be acquitted- happened here, when a property owner fired a "warning shot" at a meth-head burglar, and it ended up going through his head. His defense was that it was dark, and it was just an unfortunate coincidence, and bad shooting, that caused the warning shot to go awry. Jury acquitted him, and jury foreman commented afterward, "We just couldn't send a man to prison for being a poor shot."
