There is non negotiated plea deal in place for Gray, meaning his fate regarding punishment will be decided solely by the judge.
Former DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James explained the legal implications of the case moving forward without a plea deal.
“There’s no issue about, you know, whether or not the deed was done or who did it, right? And that’s what you’re fighting about in most cases. In this case, what you are essentially fighting about is punishment,” James said.
