After close to two years of litigation, the case has finally come to a close. Here is an article about how things ended: Bystander to Wildlife Shooting Has Conviction Overturned or Another Article.
The person who pulled the trigger got no jail and close to $5000 in fines pursuant to a plea agreement. The two friends who were with him, and told him not to shoot, were sentenced to jail time. Mine went to trial and got 30 days jail and about $2600 in fines. The remaining co-defendant, who was supposed to be tried the next day, watched the trial and decided to take a plea for 10 days jail and fines. Because of the appeal, my client, thankfully, never served a day. The State dismissed the only charge remanded for new trial.
