Defendant fired 1 gun shot into a car with 3 people in it. He faced 3 charges of assault, 3 charges of armed criminal action, 1 charge unlawful possession of a firearm, and 1 charge of unlawful use of a firearm.
I’m glad the guy got 30 years in prison for shooting into a car of people. But how many charges do we really need for one bad act?
