    Pardon my ignorance, but what’s the offering in the plea deal? Plead guilty and we won’t recommend death penalty, or is it something else?

      The DA said it’s a guilty plea in exchange for them not seeking the death penalty. My understanding is that the judge can still reject such a deal, however. Since the DA said it’s at the request of most victims’ families involved, I’m guessing the judge would accept.
