I expect that she will be convicted of shooting Daunte Wright with the wrong hand, and that her best possible outcome from the trial will be a shorter sentence.
I do have a couple of questions I would like answers for: first of all, what path did the bullet take after exiting Wright's chest? There were two people to his right.

Pastor Douglas Wilson has a lucid, sensitive, and rather long rebuttal to the Problem of Susan; link below.
My own, lesser contribution here, is that C. S. Lewis was a fan of George MacDonald, and MacDonald wrote some vivid portrayals of spiritual devolution. In The Princess and Curdie, Curdie was given the ability to discern which beast a person's moral character was descending into by holding their hand. In ...
