In those cases they usually just go to the plea bargain stage.
Pointing any laser at an aircraft is, for good reason, a serious crime. Albeit, those cases usually concern expensive lights or even powerful green lasers.

There's a reason the public defenders thought they should take this case to a jury trial. Something's not right from an initial read.
