He is expected to inform the multiple complainants Thursday regarding the revised indictment.
The Justice Ministry has confirmed that a plea deal was in the works, while the former president's attorneys declined comment.
I know plea bargains are a fact of life having been a Deputy Sheriff at one point in time in my life. How ever I do not like the fact that Katsav can enter into such an agreement, when a President of a country is accused of rape their should be a trial for the sake of the country and the office of the President.
