Yes, something stinks, like why, if what the DA says it true, then the question is why was it kept from him.

Most prosecutor's offices have policies regarding what an assistant prosecutor can or cannot do without clearing from higher ups. My guess is this ADA broke the department rules by entering into this type of plea arrangement and then hid it from the boss.

I understand that.

So then the question becomes, if this was the policy, just what was "in it for her" that she risked her job?
