Hot teacher will NOT go to trial
Judge rejects plea deal for Debra Lafave
A judge has rejected a plea deal that would have stopped the trial of a Tampa teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old middle school student.The judge today said that accepting Debra Lafave’s plea agreement would undermine the credibility of the criminal justice system and “erode public confidence in our schools.”
Earlier this month, prosecutors and defense attorneys begged the judge to accept the deal on behalf of the victim and his family. A psychiatrist who examined the boy told the judge that the victim has suffered extreme anxiety from the intense media coverage surrounding the case and does not want to testify.
“extreme anxiety?” Maybe he needs a performance-enhancing medication.
Update: Within a couple hours, prosecutors dropped the charges. Denying the country a spectacle like that? … Wankers.
