I think it's a stretch to say this man died directly because of the shooter some 40 years later...a long stretch...

Well, I really don't know
40 years is a long time. That's crazy.

I think prosecuting this charge makes the prosecuters look like fools.
And a trial would incur unnecessary expense to the taxpayers. As for the guy who's living in a halfway house and barely making it, if he's convicted the state will buy him three squares a day, medical care and a roof over his head.  Not to mention that he's already paid for his crime.
