Charges downgraded to 2nd degree murder. At his age 25 years is still a life sentence
As I said originally, terrible police work. An "uneven recollection" warrants more investigation. Not an arrest

Testifying at an evidentiary hearing Friday, a detective told the court that Kelly called authorities to report that he was being fired upon.
He was "frantically telling him he was being shot at," the witness said of Kelly's phone exchange with another agent. "He said that he was being shot at and he was shooting back."
The witness said Kelly called the agent back.
"He said that he wasn't sure he was being shot at," the witness said. "He said that he heard what he believed to be shots and he was being shot at. But then he changed. He didn't know exactly if he was being shot at."
The detective said Kelly's uneven recollections eventually triggered his arrest.
