Well to be fair, he's not prosecuting this case and frankly I think he's being a blowhard. It's a no body case. And it's hard to determine, without a confession or other info whether it's murder, per CT law, or manslaughter.
There is a reason they've charged them with what they have. I believe it is to pressure the woman into talking.
The judge did not reduce the bail as requested. The bail amount is very high, apparently, for those charges, typically. So it was actually set with future homicide charges in mind.
Otherwise, we are in agreement!!!
