Why didn't he step in doesn't he have to approve plea deals? It seems to me that the corruption in this case may go higher. It would be nice to know who the perp's parents are or maybe some other family member. Also I wonder where the A.D.A will be working now , hum!

One of the points that I think would get lost in this story is where they point out that the victim nor his family were told (thus, giving them no opportunity to attend) about the plea hearing. There is so much wrong with this. I don't understand why this plea can't be tossed out on impropriety. If for nothing else, wasn't the victim denied his rights of the judicial process by not being notified of that hearing? I don't know the answer, so anyone with knowledge, come forth.

I wish that we would have more empathy for the victims than the criminals. I don’t really have words for this. I wish that we would have more empathy for the victims than the criminals.
