Prosecutor: No plea bargain for murder suspect Zarate:
The Morris County (NJ) Prosecutors Office has restated their refusal to offer a plea to accused killer Jonathan Zarate. For those of you just joining us, Zarate killed 16-year-old Jennifer Parks dismembered her body and tried to dump the body in the Passaic River.
At a brief hearing in Morristown, Superior Court Judge Salem Ahto wanted to know where the 27-month-old case stood. Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Ralph Amirata said the only way Zarate would avoid trial is to plead guilty to the July 2005 murder.
Zarate has already been spared the death penalty.
Zarate’s attorney is pursuing an insanity defense and expects a psychiatric report in a few weeks.
Zarate isn’t crazy, he’s inherently evil in my opinion.
