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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
