Johnny,
If you are an attorney, then can you answer this:
If Kelly is a convicted felon, is she able to visit her husband in jail? Or is it over?
I say, it's over within a matter of a few months.
Sure she can visit, she won't be able to vote, own a gun, run for public office, and a number of other things that comes with a felony conviction, but she can visit her man in the pen all she wants.
Will she break up with him?? I would bet my bottom dollar on it. Who the fuck is going to wait around 15 years for CT?

?
By the way, the way I understand it, the district attorney did give her mother a LOT of leeway in accepting it.
The DA is ALWAYS going to run a plea deal by the family, especially on a serious case, and hopefully get their OK on the deal.
But the fact is CT took a second degree murder deal, and that would have been hard to prove at trial, and first degree would have been VERY hard to prove at trial. A more likely verdict would have been a manslaughter charge-such as CT in a moment of rage flipped out and killed MJ-which is more than likely what happened.
If MJ's Mom said no, I will not agree to the 2nd degree murder charge and I want you (Mr. DA) to go to trial on 1st degee murder-does the DA have to do that-and face the chance of getting LESS than a second degree murder at trial??? Like a manslaughter???
No, they don't, that would be stupid and a waste of time, money and resources for a roll of the dice that does not have good odds. So the family is consulted on an y plea deal, and hopefuly they agree with the deal being offered-but the DA knows best on trial.
Plus there is always the chance of not winning at trial, ala OJ Simpson. Not likely but at trial all sorts of weird things go sideways (for both sides).
