- Aubrie Goncalves' powerful statement about the "shocking and cruel" timing
- The forensic evidence that would have been presented at trial
- Why some families wanted the death penalty's "23-hour lockdown" vs regular prison life
- The last-minute nature of the deal, giving families just ONE day to appear in court
This video includes exclusive analysis of the prosecution's letter, family statements, and what happens at the July 2nd hearing where a judge could still REJECT the plea deal.
