Reckless Endangerment Charges Reduced

When a professor in a remote part of the county practiced target shooting in his driveway, he was unaware of some bullets landing on a nearby golf course.

Police were called, and the man was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment. If convicted, the client faced jail time and could be fired from his university. Attorney Michael Skinner proved his client had no specific intent to hurt anyone. Because of this, he was able to negotiate with the DA to reduce the charges. The client’s reckless endangerment charges were brought down to summary disorderly conduct— saving him from jail time, probation, and job termination.
