HE SAYS THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH THE PLEA DEAL, BUT COME JULY WHEN ON DRUG IS SENTENCED AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR JUSTICE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE NO MATTER WHETHER HE GETS, YOU KNOW, SIX, SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS, THEY’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

THEIR SON, TOBY, WAS BORN IN AUGUST HAVING HIM SENTENCED ON JULY 3RD WILL GIVE THEM SOME CLOSURE. BUT EVEN AT THAT, YOU KNOW, HE’S GOING TO BE OUT BEFORE BABY TOBY’S EVEN 18 YEARS OLD.
