Published July 06, 2009 11:53 am - Attorney for Earls says DA sought harsher penalty McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — The attorney for a man who accepted a one-year prison deal as part of plea agreement in a child rape case says prosecutors sought a harsher penalty in the case. Attorney Tim Mills says District Attorney J.B. Miller tried to convince 64-year-old David Harold Earls to accept a plea agreement that would result in Earls spending more than one year in prison. Earls pleaded no contest in May to first-degree rape and forcible sodomy for attacking a then 4-year-old McAlester girl. All but one year of a 20-year prison sentence was suspended. Judge Thomas Bartheld accepted the plea agreement, which has led to a firestorm that has included efforts by two state legislators to change the case, an investigation by state Attorney General Drew Edmondson and criticism from national television commentators. ___ Information from: The Oklahoman, http://www.newsok.com
