According to the Sulphur Daily News, Heather Daughdrill initiated the relationship in June and it continued until a complaint was filed in October. After her arrest on November 29, police told the paper that Daughdrill would pick her victim up from school without his parents' knowledge and subject him to sexual encounters. Louisiana cops also reportedly found sexually explicit texts between Daughdrill and her victim.

This slut made out great. Fucked 3 boys in her basement and didn't have to worry about a thing.
Please tell me the doofus husband left her...
I don't know, but it would surprise me if the DA's office went soft on their recommendation unless there were additional mitigating circumstances.
I guess it's not completely implausible that she was assigned an ADA that was relatively young and a guy. Privately he would have had the same reaction most here have had.
It's just that if a case makes the news, it's virtually automatically required for a senior prosecutor to have to sign off on any plea arraignment the ADA may be willing to offer.
Sometimes, how good or harsh a deal available can simply rest on if the prosecutor assigned is having a great day or a shitty day.
Sometimes the plea offer is such a sweetheart deal, the judge will look at it and then up at the DA assigned with just this look of a you fucking joking me?
Sometimes the judge will call them out in open court, and they do have discretion to say they won't sign off on the agreement, but that's rare. [Reply]
