If I had to guess, rich parents with a good enough lawyer to draw out the trial long enough that cutting it short was preferable to pushing for a harsher sentence.

They look dressed fairly poorly, so that theory seems unlikely. Otherwise most cases never go to trial.

Not buying it. I 100% believe if these were males they would be much harder on them. The idea that they are getting a plea deal at all is mind boggling to me. Usually plea deals are used to get people to plea to something they didn't do so prosecutors can say "We're tough on crime!"

But yeah, they probably would have been harder on them if they were males, but that doesn't mean they should have been.
