I'm obviously wrong but always thought you cut the deal with the DA at the time of charging to go to court facing a lesser charge, not a deal on the sentence afterwards. Must have been watching too many American cop shows!Read an article in the Guardian that speculated that she may already have tried to cut a deal and the prosecutors are not interested as they do not want to deal with her. Maybe she was the 'big fish' they were after so why should they do deals to reduce her sentence to prosecute other 'smaller fish'? I don't think we have heard the last of it yet, am sure other things will follow.
Thought it was breathtakingly arrogant of her not to take the stand as she felt the prosecution "had not proven their case". That must have influenced the jurors.
