I use the term ‘somehow’ because I was not there to see how it happened. There are several routes (all bad & wrong)  he could have taken to create the situation (for lack of a better term) - IDK specifics so I said somehow. 

If you were there you would have stopped it. I feel like using “somehow” is placing a value judgement on his actions rather than simply saying “he got involved...” We don’t need to know how or why.

Oh good grief!

I enjoy the history and insight Illiana brings to the table. 
Also, in regards to his work colleague, if Illiana had known about it at the time I think he would have done what he could to put a stop to it because that’s the impression I have of him as a stand up guy.

Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas
Court Room 5C, Judge James T. Anthony

Will we know the full details from the plea deal?  Will the plea deal court records be made public record or can the judge order them to be sealed?  (Yes, I googled.)  
Will the first stage of this nightmare for the victims, fans, "The Cadets", & DCI be over & will we know any of the details?  (We could also add the family of defendant.)

Too much info; maybe a DCP member has a law degree?  Maybe Mr. Bergstrom or a rep would be available for a chat or zoom meeting?  :whistle:

Plea Agreement Defined:

A criminal record is public even if it results from a plea bargain, and a plea can be reported in the media, but the exposure is much less intense and protracted than the exposure from a trial. The details of a defendant's private life are less likely to emerge.*

Weird. Someone with that same name just posted on Facebook yesterday that:
