An aside comment anyway, not really part of the meat of this discussion.
More to the point, Tivodan, you didn't read far enough:
Quote:
Sept. 4: A judge drops the conspiracy conviction.
Sept. 14: A state appeals court overturns Mr. Bell’s remaining conviction, ruling that he should not have been tried as an adult. His case will go back to juvenile court.

was incorrect that aggravated battery allowed him to be tried in adult court, for that he would have had to use a firearm under LA law.
The attempted murder the DA chose to pursue is what had him in adult court.
