Baltimore arsonist shocked by own plea deal claims he, 'shouldn't be out' of prison
An admitted criminal in Baltimore says even he thinks he was treated too leniently by the liberal prosecutors.
A felony arsonist who served only 6 months in prison despite facing three attempted murder charges says the criminal justice system is broken because of how little time he had to serve for his crime.
“Luther Trent pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree arson after setting the home of his ex-girlfriend, Alexis, on fire in May 2021. He also faced three counts of attempted homicide since Alexis and her two roommates were home sleeping at the time of the fire,” WBFF reported.
“Trent was released from jail after serving less than six months thanks to a plea deal from the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office. Trent was originally charged with 18 felonies, he said, including three attempted-murder charges but ultimately pleaded down to one arson charge, given a 10-year suspended sentence,” WBFF said.
“Personally, yes, I want to be out but, principally, no I shouldn’t be out because I could have done a lot more damage than I did. I was expecting to get time; people who were in that situation, they should expect to get time,” Trent said.
Conservatives on Twitter were outraged by the news and voiced concern over the safety of Democrat led communities.
Do you think the Baltimore prosecutor who cut this deal should resign? Should there be tougher penalties for felonies? Let us know below!
