Do I smell a plea deal coming here? It's been close to 5 years since little Darnell was murdered, unacceptable.

Yes, we are HOPING for a plea deal - but this is for the jail damage - NOT for the murder charge, unfortunately.

Hopefully she will do the same with the murder charge - do a plea.
 
And by the way - her trial for the murder charge is on 3/7/24.

Considering it was rescheduled twice already - it was probably rescheduled again...

I shall wait a week or so - to see if they have a new date in the court site.

Thanks @Jewels53 !
