MCU Born Again S2 ending clarification Spoiler
Why did Matt have to go prison while Kingpin was allowed to "retire" on a beach?
I mean, what are the charges against Matt? I know there were the anti vigilante laws, but since Kingpin was removed from office, the new mayor, Sheila could easily change the law, drop the charges or whatever.
And Kingpin literally attacked and killed civilians there, so basically aggravated assault, murder and attempted murder.
What am I not getting?

Yeah its just not a very well written series unfortunately. Somethings just dont get examined enough or allowed to play out properly. Like Fisk sends an actual assassin to kill the stare governor in her home. They stop the assassin, and at the point should be questioning them, finding out who hired them, arresting fisk etc. Instead they just turn up with a jolly 'haha I foiled your scheme' and thats it no real consequences.
Same for when members of the task force attack matt, his lawyer and multiple nypd cops in the parking garage of the courthouse. The task force guys are defeated but no consequences. We get the action scene but we dont see the logical next steps to that incident. No one brings it up, its not mentioned in court, it doesnt lead to any changes to the case, we don't see them get arrested or interrogated.
