TMJ4: Prosecutors Offer McGee a Plea Deal

Jon Byman

Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee Jr.'s attorney tells Today's TMJ 4 that prosecutors offered McGee a plea deal.  But, that deal has apparently fallen through.

Rumors about the deal swirled today.  McGee's supporters even packed a courtroom today hoping to see a plea hearing.  According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the judge even called the case and announced that there was not a deal.

McGee's attorney says, "there was talk of a deal but it's not going to happen."

It's not clear what prosecutors offered to McGee.  It's also not clear why the deal fell through.
