I have never understood why a plea deal is allowed without the victims agreement. Aren't we supposed to be getting justice for the victim? A plea deal does not get justice. It just punishes. It doesn't give justice to the victim of the crime. For some reason our justice system doesn't seem to get the difference between justice and punishment. Justice is for the victim, punishment is for the criminal. You can give the criminal punishment without giving his victim justice. And that's exactly what a plea deal does.

Plea deals are necessary as long as organized crime exists.

The fact that the bullets he fired didn't hit anyone doesn't matter much, he was there committing a felony and a homicide happened. "My bullets that I fired with intent of murdering someone while trying to rob him didn't hit him, it was my friend who I planned it with and gave a gun, he's the one who hit the guy." Doesn't really sound like a defense. Accessory would be driving the other car while not knowing the full intent of what was going on, then flipping on everyone involved. Then you still have the car jacking charges, which is grand theft, not to mention the gun charges that can be prosecuted both locally and federally.

Prosecution is concerned that he won’t get the help if he’s in prison. This kid knew right from wrong decided to be apart of the armed carjacking anyway, he needs to be held accountable. I don’t understand why he doesn’t get treatment in prison? That is something that needs to be looked into by people from the outside. This family will never see their loved one again.

Wait just a minute. He's not 25 yet. How could he possibly know that carjacking and shooting at someone was wrong?

The prosecutors should be prosecuted. It is their jobs to seek justice for the victims, not looking for sympathy for the criminals. They are doing the opposite of what they supposed to do.

Thank you judge, for restoring a little bit of my faith in the fact that there are still some decent and sane people left up at the top of the law. For that I’m grateful, and I’m sure the family is too

After this the prosecution downgraded his charge to attempted assault, he pled guilty and was released immediately. No real difference occurred for the family in the end.

The judge knows all too well exactly what DA's and prosecutors do to other people over a simple misdemeanor. His own family has likely been profiled. He's what a judge should be and the family deserves justice.

Thank you judge for rejecting the plea deal. Most plea deals do not hold the criminals completely accountable. We are all accountable for the things we do.

Brotha stuck it to the lame Moriarty prosecutor. All those like her are why we have rampant criminality these days. I just moved from Seattle living there for 25 years and was lucky to leave with my life. My child was not so fortunate.
