A Lake County judge told prosecutors and defense attorneys Thursday that he would like some indication soon as to whether Demetries Thorpe will accept a plea deal for allegedly murdering a 5-month-old baby last year, the Lake County News-Sun is reporting.
While he stopped short of setting a firm deadline for a negotiated plea - which he noted that he has the authority to do - Judge Daniel Shanes suggested he would like to know whether the case was going to trial by the next status date, which he set for July 1.
