By Michael Stevens
From Courier Journal (click on heading for entire story):
Judge says plea bargain must stand
Attorney sought harsher termsBy Andrew Wolfson ? awolfson@courier-journal.com ? November 8, 2008
Insurance executive Robert "Bobby" Clarkson, who seriously injured a motorcyclist while driving drunk in June, will get to keep a plea bargain that Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell says is "ridiculously lenient."
A Jefferson District Court judge ruled yesterday that O'Connell cannot withdraw the deal, which was negotiated by an assistant prosecutor under O'Connell's predecessor, Irv Maze.During a contentious 90-minute hearing, O'Connell said the terms of the deal, in which Clarkson's felony-assault charge was amended to careless driving, were never presented to Judge David Holton II, who accepted the plea.
