Sam, Sam, Sam. In fact yes, I do know Alex's mother. I also know that you are fabricating the truth.
First, You are in fact wrong when you say this is "Not an admission of guilt." Yes, it is!
Second, You state this:
All the talk about civil suits (which are always about money) are pipe dreams with the Sheltons financial situation. As the old saying goes "you can't get blood out of a turnip". Translated that means you can't get money where there is none. Not too many attorney's are going to take a case where you go after someone that has already been wiped out financially.
Sorry, Sam but attorneys have already been retained. So obviously they disagree with you.
Also, this talk about the prosecutor does not have enough evidence that is complete horse feathers. I know for a fact that the prosecutor was going to have a hay day with Alex's brother (Brad). Who called Alex and told him that he was sorry, and that he felt guilty about what happened. Not True? Yes, it is because that whole conversation was documented by a local attorney. Brad also stated to Alex that he has never nor would he ever leave his son alone with Tommy. Is that not true either? Yes, it is because that was also documented.
I also know that one certain person who knows Tommy quite well was also going to testify against Tommy. Guess you failed to mention that huh?
The prosecutor was not at all worried about losing as no they did not have many witness, but they felt that the defense was calling people who would be beneficial to them. So why should they waste their money, when Tommy was bringing them anyway? Just because they are subpoenaed by the defense does not mean they would not help the prosecution!!!!
Sam you are grasping at straws. In some ways I really do hope that the judge rejects this deal. That way you can see what type of a case the prosecution really did have.
