Chapter 18 - The Criminal CaseThe state prosecutor charged Trent with offenses tied to assault, reckless endangerment, property destruction, and the highway consequences.
Exact legal labels depended on jurisdiction.
His attorneys negotiated.
The prosecution did not need to invent intent to kill anyone.

Greg's cooperation reduced his exposure.
Trent initially rejected every offer.

The sentence included incarceration, suspended portions, probation, restitution, and behavioral conditions.
Not life destroyed.
Not nothing.
Real consequence.
