I give up. I have looked and looked and cannot find a reason, stated by prosecutors for dropping or not charging 1st degree murder on a planned attack, planned the night before, with victim chosen as easier mark than some Navy guy. I used multiple wordings of search arguments, different time durations of search, checking "all" and "news". If it was out there, my searches should have produced the answer.
With nothing else to go on, it looks as if she gets off easier, simply because she is black, so Arizonans are stuck with what they got, or what they get, unless some black chick sticks them first.
Maybe it is like that in Arizona. I don't know. Only places or locations I have personal knowledge of in Arizona, are the Grand Canyon, a corner in Winslow, The Great Meteor Crater (a rip-off), The Petrified Forest, and the Painted Desert, only talking to an occasional National Park Ranger or two, a few Native Americans selling their wares at the edge of a reservation near Grand Canyun, and the assholes at Great Meteor Crater, I really do not know how Arizona people are. Their prosecutors and judges, certainly do not communicate well with the public. That is for sure.
I guess if you are black, and you just want to plan to randomly stab somebody in the back, it is the place to do it. So get your tickets and pack your bags if that sounds good. It's not like you will be charged with attempted murder, even with multiple stabs in the back, out of the blue, if you are black, or and maybe a female. Who knows, maybe that's like a two-for, to get you off, lighter.
