Clegg is charged with “knowingly” causing the deaths of Stephen and Djeswende Reid by shooting them multiple times in Concord last April. He is also charged with alternate second-degree murder counts “for recklessly” causing their deaths “under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference”. to the value of human life” by shooting them.
The indictment also charges Clegg with three counts of falsifying physical evidence and being a convicted felon in possession of a gun.
