Orange County, California, District Attorney Todd Spitzer said there was not a "plea deal" made in the case of an illegal immigrant convicted of manslaughter in the death of two teens after new scrutiny over the man's early release from a California prison.
"A convicted felon who was twice previously deported is being released after serving just a fraction of his sentence for killing two 19-year-olds because California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature refuse to hold criminals accountable," the Republican said in a news release Wednesday.
"This was not a plea deal. This was a defendant who pled to the court and was sentenced by a judge under California law, over the objection of Orange County prosecutors, who unsuccessfully argued for the maximum sentence.
"California’s creative concoction of good time, education and other credits has resulted in criminals being released quicker than ever before, fulfilling Gov. Newsom’s plot to empty California’s prisons and put dangerous and violent felons back on the street," Spitzer added.
