[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 5250310, member: 102022"]The guy reneged on his word. A sworn, signed, commitment, a plea deal. I get it. If that's the case, then retry him without any offer of a plea. Let the courts determine his fate. If he's found guilty, he gets sentenced. His sentence will highly unlikely include life in prison. Whatever his sentence is, he serves his time. He gets out.
