Family’s Emotional Plea STOPS Deal in Miami Teacher’s Murder

Ernest Roberts, a former Florida high school assistant principal accused of murdering Kameela Russell, appeared in court for a plea hearing after accepting a deal offered by prosecutors. However, after hearing emotional victim impact statements from Russell’s loved ones, the judge rejected the plea deal following consultation with the family. Russell’s daughters and other family members had urged the court not to accept the agreement. The judge ultimately granted their request to reject the offer before recusing himself from the case.
