But it was an accidental shooting is there anyway of helping this person receive a more lenient sentence?
answered on Oct 19, 2020
Yes, hiring an experienced defense lawyer to take this to trial.

Look for members of the N.Mexico Assn for Justice--they give free consults, take cases on a contingent fee.
