Plea bargain in rape case prompts lawsuit from victim
Briefly

Carrie Banks claims her case was mishandled, alleging she wasn't informed about the plea deal that resulted in no jail time for her alleged rapist.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe stated that the law requires the victim to ask for updates, suggesting Banks did not request to be kept informed.
Banks' attorney described Mendoza's plea deal as a "sweetheart deal," highlighting the perceived injustice of no jail time despite the serious allegations.
Wagstaffe defended his office's actions, asserting that they will fight allegations of misconduct, maintaining their decisions were based on case specifics.
