A controversial plea deal was rejected by the court. In an exclusive interview with KRON4, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price says the last murder charge is also in jeopardy of being dismissed."It is possible that Mr. Logwood will serve no time in this case," Price said. DA Price dismisses 2 murder charges against accused triple-murderer You may recall headlines earlier this year regarding Price seeking a plea deal for 2008 triple-murder suspect Delonzo Logwood.

The DA and defense sought, unsuccessfully, to have the judge removed from the case. Since then, that same judge has dismissed two of the murder charges against Logwood wh...
