You're walking, it's 1:30 at night, you get something hit in the back, there's mayhem all over because apparently the person was firing shots everywhere, and it was just kind of mayhem from my client's perspective, he turns around, he sees the guy( Middleton) they engage and, boom, he fires a round, which happened to hit him.

The allegation is that he was he was extraordinarily careless. by Joey Jackson

The allegation is that he was he was extraordinarily careless.

What do you do to the guy ? Throw him in jail and take him from his family and remaining children again ? What's an appropriate resolution for this type of case ?

How does he ever get a fair trial when Jussie Smollett have the superintendent going on' Good Morning America' blasting him, you have wonder whether or not they overplayed their hand.

You can argue it's morally reprehensible. But when you look at it from Sean Penn's perspective, he simply had a talk with a fugitive, you need some type of aiding or abetting or assisting or material support ... of a fugitive.

You're given that opportunity, now take that opportunity as a second chance of a lease on your life because you took others'.

He shot, he discharged his firearm in the direction of a car, not knowing whether he hit anything or anyone.

If he proceeds to trial, now the dirty laundry is aired.

I think prosecutors -- if they're looking to go down the route of potentially holding other people accountable -- will now say,' Now that you're guilty, perhaps you can speak to us now, and to the extent that you cooperate, maybe we can work out some kind of arrangement where it's not as stiff for you in jail,'.

Just be transparent, give your narrative.
