[Vision2020] Say What??????

[Rosemary]

This is unbelievable on many levels.  Why in the world did Bill Thompson
agree/negotiate to this plea bargain?  What was his reasoning?  The
electorate should demand and explanation from him for this decision.  Why is
arson, a property crime, treated in a more punitive manner than murder?  And
please, don't parse words and legal terminology about the difference between
murder and manslaughter.  Dead is dead, and the actions of Silas Parks were
deliberate and intentional as the initial charge indicated.    This is a
sickening miscarriage of justice and an embarrassment to Latah County.
