outrage today in a courtroom in New Jersey a man charged with the brutal murder of a woman in Patterson accepted a plea deal that sentences him to a maximum of 15 years in prison Stephanie De Jesus was killed in a hammer attack nearly two years ago her body was later found stuffed into the trunk of her car investigators say it was a family affair her alleged Killer's mother father and fiance all helping to dispose of her body New Jersey reporter Anthony Johnson is live in Patterson with the deta
ils Anthony yeah Liz this is a very strange murder case because no one involved has been charged with murder and the family of the victim is very upset as a matter of fact they believe that a special prosecutor needs to get involved in this case because they say the Pake County prosecutor has failed this family miserably Justice for Stephanie the family and friends of Stephanie Deus showing disgust saying the man who murdered the 37-year-old mother is not paying for his crime where is justice he
re where is it we need Justice we need people to help us show us what else we need to do because we don't want to do this this way 31 Justin fiser has taken a guilty plea on charges of desecration of a body and hindering apprehension are you sure you want me to accept the guilty please yes The Plea could lead to 15 years behind bars for fiser that upset the de su's family why who blame local prosecutors for not doing enough to turn this into a murder case this is the guy that committed the murde
r and have a eyewitness that he that he was over the body with the weapon at the crime scene so with that alone said how is that not enough evidence to prosecute how do you think her son feels to hear this news is that Justice for him or his family it's not DS's body was discovered in a car where she apparently had been moved after she was killed family and friends believe Fischer is responsible for her murder and they say this case shows the County prosecutor's office performed a poor investiga
tion it's not fair at all and this has to have Justice it cannot stay like that and fiser will be back in court for sentencing on April 9th of f year of course now you heard him say in court that he is 31 years old according to the de de Jesus family rather the fact that he's already served time in jail and with probation he'll probably get out of jail before he's 40 years old that is the latest live from Patterson New Jersey Anthony Johnson Channel 7 Eyewitness News

The DAs aren’t doing their jobs. You are your own best first responder.

@renaestevenson1361

Horrible and outrageous outcome. SHE (De Jesus) is worth WAY MORE than 15 years. Complete miscarriage of justice!

@mrcatfish2100

Wow brutal. Plea deal are you kidding.

@MicrowaveOvenmit

Courts are failing.

@john_wick1

Why DAs like to give plea deal to even murderers?

@moebetta6194

How the f do they let a person take a plea deal. This is crazy

@SusanSoCal1

15 year conviction, out in 5.

@jovictor9064

They are trying this with another case in Brooklyn as well where an individual was deleted and his body stored chopped up in a fridge but the person who was there and lived in the apt with the body is being held on holding a corpse rather then murder smh something gotta change

@D-Sin5

There is no justice, anywhere. Get your own, and don't get caught.

@LAFITZ10

SICK JUDGES IN NEW JERSEY

@Quantolosophy

Crooked county this is ridicuolous! What did she know that theyvare letting this man go for 15 yrs.

@CandiceMMartinez

Dear God, please get justice for this grieving family 🙏🏼 Keep him out of society because he is dangerous.

@je9212

Street and prison justice will come 💯💯

@Melissa980

Death penalty why is the justice system a big failure!

@georgeandy6923

The Reporter is Wrong....because this Murderer is likely to be out of jail before he is 35 years old!!

@samuellittle8066

That's crazy because if he's a good boy in prison he'll only have to do 10 years of that 15 years because of good time.

@nando349

DA's don't want to do the work, much easier for them to get plead deals. If others were involved . Whats their punishment?

@christophergreen3197

Let me guess....a liberal democrat judge?

@cosmologybey0

it's important to remember that making generalizations or judgments about an entire race of people is not fair or accurate. It's important to treat individuals based on their actions and character rather than making assumptions based on their race. Let's focus on promoting understanding and unity among all people. 😊🌍

@seanrichards9957

He isn’t going to last in prison
