The only problem with people rolling over is you never know who's really telling the truth and who's lying and diminishing their role just to save their butt - unless there's evidence to know for sure.

The prospect of a plea deal in the case of a Sterling man accused of stabbing a local teenager to death in 2016 was brought up in Danielson Superior Court on Friday, as attorneys on both sides of the case wait for the results of a DNA report.
State’s Attorney Anne Mahoney said her office has had preliminary discussions with lawyers representing 20-year-old Kevin Weismore about settling their client’s murder case short of a trial.
“We’ll wait to see the results of the DNA test before discussing (a deal) with my client,” said Weismore’s lawyer, Vincent Provenzano.
The Sterling man accused of beating and stabbing a local teenager to death in 2016 has until May to mull over a proposed deal that could settle his case short of trial.
Inside Danielson Superior Court on Friday, Judge Jack Fischer gave 20-year-old Kevin Weismore until May 18 to accept or reject an undisclosed plea deal presented during an earlier judicial pre-trial session by States Attorney Anne Mahoney.
Kevin Weismore, of 61 Laiho Road, Sterling, pleaded guilty in Danielson Superior Court to one count each of murder and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of 18-year-old Todd TJ Allen.
The plea deal calls for Weismore to be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison on Aug. 3, though his lawyer, Vincent Provenzano, has the right to argue for a 25-year sentence, the minimum allowed under state law.
Dustin Warren and David Howard are both charged with tampering with evidence and hampering prosecution. Their cases are still active.
A week after Kevin Weismore was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the 2016 murder of Todd “TJ” Allen, two of Weismore’s friends accused of helping get rid of the evidence had their cases continued until Aug. 31.
David Howard and Dustin Warren both are charged with tampering with evidence, hindering prosecution and interfering with police in the death of the 18-year-old Sterling resident.
Two men convicted of covering up the death of a teenage dirt biker in Connecticut more than two years ago will spend less than a month behind bars.
Dustin Warren, 20, and David Howard, 21, each pleaded guilty to interfering with police and first-degree reckless endangerment and were sentenced to two years in prison -- suspended after 19 days.
The Norwich Bulletin reported that the plea deal was scorned by the mother of 18-year-old Todd Allen, the Sterling teen stabbed and bludgeoned to death by 20-year-old Kevin Weismore in December 2016 during a drug robbery.
Prosecutors said they recognize the Allen family's pain, but note the pair was willing to testify against Weismore, leading to his "significant sentence."
