It was a long time ago but I remember seeing something along the lines of some U. S. Police levy a blanket of charges and then those either hold up or go away as more information is gathered throughout the investigation.
Hence why we can see a murder 1 charge go down to manslaughter etc. but they have to initially make those charges from the onset.
Seems wonky to me but I definitely have a recollection of that being a procedure in some states.
Maybe an American law expert can weigh in.
Either way, I doubt McKenna gets a criminal record from this.
