Plea Deal In Case Of Abused Twins?

Item: Offer on the table: Possible plea deal could dismiss one of two counts against mother of neglected twins/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A pretrial settlement offer is on the table in Elisabeth C. Crossley's case that, if accepted by the court, would dismiss one felony count against her in exchange for a guilty plea to another, according to court documents. Crossley, 26, is currently charged with two counts of felony injury to a child. Idaho statutes say each count is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Question: Are you OK with a plea deal in this case involving significant child abuse?
