The two defendents plead to felony counts, one for Bennett and two for Wheeler. "The Yavapai County Attorney's Office originally charged both Bennett and Wheeler with 18 counts of felony aggravated assault and 18 counts of felony kidnapping involving accusations of "brooming" 18 male middle school students ages 11 through 15. But a proposed plea deal would allow Bennett to plead guilty to just one count of aggravated assault, while Wheeler would plead guilty to two counts." [1] There's a possibility that the judge could reduce the felony charges to misdemeanors and allow them to avoid jail time at sentencing ("They could face a maximum two years in prison under terms of the plea deal, but the judge could reduce the charges to a misdemeanor and no jail time." [2]), but we'll just have to wait and see about that since sentencing isn't unti May 12th. Ginnna 06:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
