DA's and whoever else has their prosecutorial hands on this are always going apeshit with charges. Stealing a Twinkie from the gas station will get you 8 counts of theft-by-taking and, shit, probably terrorism too if they think it'll either get you to plea to something and / or they think they can make their name with the case and screw you for living.

They're supposed to be finding and delivering justice, but it's always just cruel idiots trying to prove they're big, important people. Well. Not always but most often.
