It has reached a point that Bertonatti's good lawyers figure he is unlikely to get off even in a jury trial. They likely figure his best bet to limit jail time is to plead guilty, tell everyone how remorseful he is ...
That said, I am surprised. The odds weren't in his favor, but they're still better than zero. I guess the DA figures this is a good case to use to make an example of and didn't make any offer, and Bertonatti is still trying to get a bargain out if it. I figured some sort of offer would be made (even a crappy one) but I guess the DA likes to take high profile cases that they know they are likely to win to trial from time to time to show how they're "tough on crime". No trial for this, but without an offer made the DA wins whatever the judge decides.
