How can a judge justify that kind of reduction in sentence because a convicted person admits they did something wrong!!!? They apparently were proven guilty, why go so easy on them for admitting it? Does a drug dealer get that kind of break if say yeah I did sell drugs. If so this a messed up system! A plea deal with a lesser sentence usually comes with the perp giving them someone higher up the chain of crimes being committed. Those that made plea deals in this case have NO chance to appeal, those who didn't I'm sure will be back in court.
