Plea Deal Possible for Man Charged Twice in Millard County Deputy’s Death

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah man who was found not guilty in the death of a sheriff’s deputy after saying the officer’s brother killed her is now weighing a possible plea deal in a second round of charges against him.
A lawyer for Roberto Roman said Wednesday the deal is unlikely, but his client plans to make a decision by Friday.
Mike Roman says his brother is innocent and the case is double-jeopardy. An appeals court rejected that argument because the second case was filed in federal court, which is separate from the Utah state that acquitted him.
Roman was in a car with Deputy Josie Fox’s brother when she was shot and killed during a traffic stop in 2010.
Roman says the fatal shots were fired by Ryan Greathouse, who later died of an overdose.
