Any attorney worth their salt should have been telling him to take the plea deal

Apparently, he was the only one of the four charged who didn't take a plea deal.

At the same time, seems his plea deal was for 25 years, only 5 less than the 30 he got.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, that sentencing was a year and a half ago, wonder why it's coming up now out of nowhere...

I'd go to court if the difference was just 5 years. Although I'm sure he could have received more.
