I always thought plea deals as something to use on a case that the prosecutors don't have concrete evidence on, so it saves their time and energy. But for something like this with bunch of witnesses and arrest made in his vehicle, I'm not sure why a plea deal is necessary. Shouldn't he be punished to the fullest extent of law?

Also, going to a jury is always a crap-shoot, with frequently unpredictable outcomes. Sometimes is it is better to go a for a lesser charge with guaranteed conviction, rather than playing the odds with a trial where the defendant could walk scot-free.

Arraignments are part of the process and negotiations to determine a mutually acceptable sentence are also part of the process. In Georgia, the death penalty would be on the table for this incident. Would you still think the person should say,"Hey I admit it" with a capital sentence as the punishment?

Really makes you wonder about the perp's motives in cases like these. It sounds like it was a deliberate act. Why?

Probably 98% of cases are settled and not tried. Based on the news, this guy’s offer will be really bad and it could go to trial. And what you read in the news is never the whole story. |

I was hit by a guy that plowed through stop sign back in 2016, a month before we moved into our current home. Guy stuck around and was super apologetic to myself and to witnesses that showed up but once cops arrived sang completely different tune and talked about how I came out of nowhere. Definition of POS.............. |
