I've looked into this and can 't find any facts that state he had a plea bargain. Every news report I can find says he was put away for a 90 day psychiatric evaluation
in preparation for sentencing.
Interestingly enough, one of the news reports says, "... the law provides automatic deportation for those convicted of crimes of moral turpitude who are sentenced to one year or more in prison." If that is correct, he wouldn't spend more than a year in prison here under any circumstances.
