If that was the case, you have have been charged with Attempted Murder on a LEO and I'm quite surprised your not still in prison right now, unless it happened like 15 years ago.

It's a very serious charge to attempt any sort of violence against a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO), and at least where I'm from, prosecutors like giving the max sentence for cases such as those.



Well that's the trick isn't it?: "plead guilty to Possession or we charge you with Attempted Murder"


Excessive charges provide incentives to take a plea bargain.
