They'll accept a plea to 2nd degree if they think there is a chance a 1st degree charge will likely not get a conviction. Wouldn't you rather a 2nd degree conviction than a failed 1st degree trial resulting in the killer going free?

I am a Christian, I do pray, but in this case, my intellect just is not understanding why you would pray “ for a boy who is dead “. So, respectfully, I ask you to please explain……to enlighten me. Now……one point I might add, WooWoo : If you are of the Catholic religion, then I understand why you prayed. So, all you need to say in response to me is “ Catholic “. However, seriously, if you are not……then you evidently have some sort of reason floating in your head that simply is not connecting with my head, and I very honestly would APPRECIATE knowing where your thoughts are coming from.

My heart breaks as a father.

Can't imagine pain and anguish finding out your child was killed, by a soulless, evil monster. R.I.P. Steve Markey! My condolences and prayers to your family. 😢💔🙏

I can't imagine how much courage this Dad must have to stand in court and speak on his murdered Son's behalf . You know he's hurting so much inside.

Mr. Markey, Parents of the deceased Steve Markey we all feel for you. Shame. Parents have to beg for justice for their loved one. This is why so many are losing faith in American justice. Even to the point by leniency the justice system emboldens these young criminals into more violent criminals. Justice in murder is simple: You take life you give yours to the prison! No plea bargain, no parole, no probation!

Wow my God, 16 doing adult crimes say what you want about Florida we treat children who do adult crimes like adults

This statement was highly impactful and contributed to the judge rejecting the plea deal for this serial offender. Thankfully, a probation-only sentence was seen as unjust by the judge presiding over this case. There is a posted video of the judge reviewing and rejecting the plea deal.

I applaud this father for giving his impact statement

the father is correct, and he and his family deserve some type of justice.

This poor man is a class act. Though suffering deeply over the loss of his son he did not become enraged or show anger but rather spoke gently without malice or vengeance just deeply saddened and from the heart, truthfully and what he asks is not unreasonable considering the repeated hate crimes initiated by these men. I pray for God to give this father peace and heal his broken heart. I also pray that God’s will be done, being just and all knowing and that it be carried out swiftly as HE is the only one who knows the hearts and souls of all humanity and truly the only rightful judge.

i feel for that dad, he was so articulate, knew this case so well, learned it all very well for his son, then articulated it so beautifully and emotionally, but still with such a calm demeanor. I want to hug the man and buy him a drink , take him out for a nice dinner. such a great dad. you and your son were lucky to have each other in this life.

This man is being far more subdued than i would. God bless you sir in this terrible time.

Car-jacking crimes need stiffer penalties to begin with! My heart goes out to Steve's family.

This father said very eloquently….what most of us feel. I am exhausted when looking at the outcomes of these trials and plea deals. Victims get no support, defendants get a slap on the wrist. I agree that emotional support for inmates needs to be better….but repeat offenders know they will get an attorney that will find a loophole to get them off…or they will get a DA thats too lazy to work for their paycheck.

WHAT !!!! COUNSELING!!!! ????? Are you kidding me!!! An elderly lady who stoled alittle food for her and her cat girs to jail and a MURDERER gets COUNSELING??????????

if only the people who propose these pleas would take the place of the guy who has to experience the consequence down the line.

All i can say is that the DAs have gotten so lazy they just don't care! I am so very sorry for your loss Mr. Markey! Justice failed you! 😢

They're more concerned about the criminal then they are about the victim

Victims are of to often forgotten. The perpetrators on the other hand go on to constantly protest about their rights, complain about their treatment at the hands of the authorities and show no remorse for their actions. This gentleman sums up everything that proves the system is broken and corrupt. May his son RIP❤🇬🇧

Defense has some fkn nerve even asking for probation

The victims family should have to consent to any plea deal for any criminal before it is offered to a criminal in a murder no plea deals should not even be allowed.

It's extremely rare for Judges to reject plea deals in cases like these, so the terms of the deal would have to be uniquely preposterous for the judge to make this decision.

What a strong and forthright Father this victim is! To the Magistrate who presided I say Thankyou for upholding the foundations of Justice within your legal system. These horrific crimes occur everyday, in every minute Worldwide. The ability for Parole to enter into the ‘whole’ sentencing negotiation process is obscene! I live in Australia and parole evaluations are conducted within the time served or prior to release. The DA & the parties address this at a Parole hearing. Heavier emphasis needs to be placed on the deterrence and public safety. More importantly, for victims not to fear reprisals when and if they are released prematurely. If it’s an economic consideration due to prison overcrowding, then give some people a job to construct more Gaols🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m sure tax payers would be more content knowing that they’re profits are being directed into ensuring ❤❤Life means Life; rather than having to feed a system that also applies their taxes to retrials, plea hearings and tolerance for killers😢 very disturbing.

I'm so glad that the judge rejected the ridiculous plea agreement that was offered to the defendant. ⚖️

So sad. God bless him. I doubt I could have kept it together like this man did

Why is it when found guilty you can appeal the ruling but if innicent you cannot. Plea deals should be required to be approved by the victom or family.

My your beloved son Rest In Peace. May you and the family find healing and peace. Blessings Be.

Wow. Moving statement

This is the second time this month a judge has rejected a plea deal orchestrated by Moriarty’s office. Ahead of Monday’s hearing, Moriarty’s office argued that Braveheart was particularly amenable to probation, had a “lesser role” in the incident since he didn’t fire the fatal shot, and has made progress in treatment over the last four years.
