Agreed. I'd rather a conviction on a "lesser" charge if that means an appeal would be more likely to be unsuccessful. As long as the sentence is lengthy enough for him to never see the light of day.
From what I understand, the degree of the murder charge on Nathan hinges on the kidnapping angle, not premeditation. So the question becomes whether or not he was alive when he was taken from the home. If he was, and they can prove it, then it is first degree. If not, or they can't prove it, then it would end up being second. Am I interpreting that correctly?
