Plea deal could be revoked for former foster father accused of impregnatinga teenage girl assigned to his care.
Plea deal could be revoked for former foster father
By JOY LEIKER http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbc...709180352/1002 NEW CASTLE -- Henry County Prosecutor Kit Crane has asked that a plea agreement offered by his chief deputy be withdrawn because he didn't approve it before it was presented to the defendant, a foster father accused of impregnating a teenage girl assigned to his care. Crane filed a motion to withdraw the agreement on Monday, the same day The Star Press reported that Darrin K. Reid had reached a deal with prosecutors. In the papers filed Monday, Crane wrote that since May 2006, there has been a policy in his office that he must sign any plea agreement in a case involving a Class B felony charge or higher. Crane wrote that the plea deal was filed Sept. 7, but he wasn't made aware of it until Sept. 12, when he looked at the file during a conversation with The Star Press. Reid originally was scheduled to go on trial for those charges last week in Henry Circuit Court. He faces two Class B felony charges of sexual misconduct with a minor, each carrying a standard 10-year sentence. According to the deal, Reid was to plead guilty to both charges, but serve the sentences concurrently. Six years would be suspended, and Reid would serve four years probation, with three of those years on home detention. In his filing, Crane called the agreement "not acceptable." The prosecutor said this wasn't the first time he's had to remind a deputy prosecutor about the office rule, and he didn't think it should reflect negatively on Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jerry Miller. Crane said Miller has worked for him ever since he took office in 1994. "The prosecutor ultimately is responsible for every case. Some people might say don't you trust your deputy prosecutor's judgment, and I certainly do. This doesn't change that at all. Jerry's my chief deputy prosecutor and he's still my chief deputy prosecutor." Reid's attorney, B. Joseph Davis, still could negotiate another plea deal in this case with the prosecutor's office, or the case could be reset for trial in Henry Circuit Court.

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
