Beatty Rejects Offer And Going To Trial

Christine Beatty today rejected the prosecutor's offer, and will instead stand trial in the Detroit text messaging scandal according to the Detroit Free Press.

Beatty's chief attorney, Mayer Morganroth, deemed the offer "unreasonable," and is willing to have the case tried in court. The unreasonable offer would have required Beatty to serve 150 days in jail, accept 2 felony charges and be required to pay $125,000 over a 5 year probationary period.

At this point, Beatty really has nothing to lose by going to trial.
