Yeah, UCO, 653f is but just ONE of the “watered down” paths this sordid affair is going to take. Rowe’s plea will be short and sweet and EVERY MINUTE DETAIL will be worked out and signed, sealed and delivered to the judge in advance of the plea.
The public will not see her in court until she cops her plea.
If Rowe can continue to pay Sevilla, he will hoof his way into the prosecutor’s back broom closet where he has his own monogrammed ergonomic chair under the light of a Coleman lantern. He may have already done so.
I predict Rowe will:
1. be sentenced to summary probation to the court for one year;
2. pay ~$4000 fine to the court;
3. pay ~$4000 in the state victim restitution fund (of which her victim could possibly avail themselves of to pay for their security system);
4. stay 300 yards away from the victims’ home and place of employment;
5. not participate in any online blogs, social media to place any online ads for a period of one year;
6. complete 200 hours community service in a battered women’s shelter, rape victims’ assistance agency or rescued prostitutes shelter.
She’ll use her 457 plan to pay her attorney fees to buy her freedom.
If I got into deep doodoo, Sevilla is one of a handful of practitioners in this county I would hire without a backward glance. And you should, too.
