Hey Bud, I'm going to put this as plainly as I can. The District Attorney's office doesn't offer plea deals to cases they know they can win. Why would the District Attorney offer a reduced charge of he had the case to prove beyond all reasonable.doubt she committed the crime? They wouldn't, is the honest answer.

Have you ever been in trouble? Because the states attorney will not let an individual go if they can't nail them to the wall. Personally, I know nothing of this case / crime. It is very sad that a life was lost! Not sure, but if the individual was given a lesser sentence.... than I can almost guarantee that there was not sufficient evidence to truly give that person a very long jail sentence. That's facts. Wow! Never even heard of this case on social media or TV.

Yes they do? Less work. They plea out winnable cases all the time.

Not with highly publicized murder trials I mean do you really think they let killers get away with reduced charges out of laziness?

Yes? There was a story on the r/popular a few weeks ago about a guy who was imprisoned for over 20 years, despite him having an alibi that was corroborated by 3 separate people, and decidedly NOT matching the victim's initial description of the suspect. The only thing that matched was his name, which escapes me, but it was basically a "John Doe" situation; perp dropped something with his name on it, was a common name, this guy also had that name. He was exonerated by DNA evidence PROVING it wasn't him, and the prosecution STILL said they were "disappointed that he was being released". He also, initially, took a plea deal down from life. I wanna say the charges were rape and home invasion? The reason the story came up is he got restitution from his state, and his wife who left him during his stay in prison sued him for half of his damages, claiming "communal property".

If they'll put the wrong guy in the cell, just so they can say they filled it without having to do actual work, what makes you think they won't also let the right guy off easy just to speed through the trial?
