Yes, under-charged.
It appears that the District Attorney has made a deal similar to the one they made for child molester, former deputy Chip Huskey, since the D.A. has left off the most serious of the charges that should have been leveled against Kari Abbey.
There were two illegal weapons that would bring charges of 12 years to life if she were found guilty.
On weapon was a sawed off shotgun and the other was a fully automated assault rifle.
Another charge that should have been made was a gun enhancement charge in both the second degree murder charge and the manslaughter charge.
These charges bring a possible 25 years to life sentence.What about the steroid possesion? Why weren't charges brought forward for that?Dom't forget the smallest of the charges left off and that is the marijuana possesion for sale charge.
Now lets's consider the criminal enterprise charges since it's apparent that the intimidation of rental tenants and illegal evictions has been ongoing.
Now lets talk about conducting business while on the job including the use of her car which is county property involving more unnamed deputies.
Why were these charges left off?
A good answer might be to allow for such a small bail. After talking with bail bondsmen, they informed us it was the lowest bail in recent memory involving just the charges brought against Kari Abbey.
If the charges mentioned above had been taken into consideration, the bail would have gone up to over a million dollars.
So considering all of this we ask you the question...
Is the FIX in?
