No doubt. The reverse kharma of the Model Penal Code is that no matter what the DA decides to bring as far as charge classification (murder 1,2,3,etc) the judge has 100% complete discretion in issuing a sentence. If they charge you with murder and assault with a deadly weapon but only prove the murder charge, the judge can say "I know you did the murder so I'm gonna max out the sentence on your assault charge".
I was just letting sonny know that Murder 3 in PA is not The same as a manslaughter charge.
