On Monday, June 4th Christopher Parker was due back at the Barnstable District Courthouse for a pre-trial hearing on the charges he received in connection to Diane's death. I was not able to attend but my brother Johnny and my dad, Dr John Everett did go. I was told that Parker's defense attorney and Brian Shea the prosecuting District Attorney met and seem to be reaching an aggreement on Parker pleading out in exchange for a lessor sentence. Parker's next court appearence will be June 21, 2007 at 2PM where he is expected to act on that aggreement.
This is not acceptable to me! When the maximum sentence that Parker will receive is only 2.5 years how can you allow him to plead out to a lessor amount of jail time? Isn't Diane's life worth more then that? If you kill someone you should go to jail...period! No chance to get a lessor sentence, or time off for good behavior. It seems like these attorneys find it too difificult to do there jobs to the fullest extent and so they do the easy thing and jump at the first offer either side could come up with. There is much more I could say but I will wait a bit and see what transpires on June 21.
