This guys is a total piece of shit. Look at the horrible way the family has been ‘involved’ with the case too, according to them:
the family said in a statement. “Latah County should be ashamed of its Prosecutor’s Office. Four wonderful young people lost their lives, yet the victims’ families were treated as opponents from the outset. We weren’t even called about the plea; we received an email with a letter attached. That’s how Latah County’s Prosecutor’s Office treats murder victims’ families. Adding insult to injury, they’re rushing the plea, giving families just one day to coordinate and appear at the courthouse for a plea on July 2.”
The family statement went on to say: “After more than two years, this is how it concludes with a secretive deal and a hurried effort to close the case without any input from the victims’ families on the plea’s details. Our family is frustrated right now and that will subside and we will come together as always and deal with the reality that we face moving forward.”
Pleading innocent, to guilty and agreeing not to appeal… That’s quite the switch!
Especially considering his plea agreement is 4 life sentences. What’s the upside here for him?
Avoiding death I guess…
