McHenry staffer Lay turns down deal

This is from a confidential source and has yet to be confirmed:
Republican D.A. Locke Bell offered Michael Aaron Lay a "deferred prosecution" deal, which means that if he did some community service and didn't get into trouble for a year the charges would be dismissed.

Apparently Mr. Lay is a "true believer" and Mr. Lay's attorney told Mr. Bell where to shove his deal. So barring further developments Mr. Lay should appear in Courtroom 4C on Thursday before Superior Court Judge Tim Patti for his arraignment.

For more on Michael Aaron Lay's voter fraud case with its ties to Patrick McHenry as both roommate and staffer look here and here and here and here and here.

Why hasn't any paper covered this? Where's the Gaston Gazette? The Charlotte Observer? They print McHenry's press releases but not the latest news on a staffer indicted for voter fraud?

I have been searching everywhere. My sources at the courthouse say things are all very quiet. I wonder if it is going to stay that way and just go away.
