CBS Miami April 19, 2022 A plea deal worked out by prosecutors and attorneys for an 18-year-old accused of killing four people in a crash last year has been rejected by the judge. On Monday, Palm Beach Circuit Judge Howard Coates said the 10-year prison sentence is too lenient and told the lawyers to either reach a new deal for Christopher Garrett Jr. or prepare to go to trial. "We're talking about four deaths. We're talking about four destroyed families, and I just have some real issues with only a 10-year sentence," the judge said.
