Although the family gets a pass here because they are speaking from emotion right now. But every time prosecutors get bullied into increasing charges that they cannot prove it only makes matters worse. When you cannot prove the more serious charges and you don't include lesser charges it lets the guilty walk and then our cities burn a second time.
They could probably prove second degree murder but there is no way to prove prior intent needed for murder one. After reading a bit here it sounds like they better up the charge to murder two due to Minnesota's weird murder three laws.
