Revelation comes from PR specialist for defense
A spokesman for Curt Lovelace's defense has revealed that there have been multiple attempts to reach a plea deal in the case.
In a statement to our news gathering partners at KHQA-TV, Nick Kalm, who's been retained as a Public Relations specialist for the defense, said Monday that the prosecution offered a plea deal eight different times, and that Lovelace refused them all. Kalm said that one of the offers was for an Alford plea, where the defendant does not admit to any guilt in the case, but does admit that the prosecution has enough evidence to convict. Kalm also revealed that when he was first arrested in August 2014, Lovelace was asked three times to take a lie-detector test, and agreed each time, but that one was not administered by Quincy police.
Kalm, who works for the Chicago firm Reputation Partners, also brought up that two of Lovelace's sons remembered seeing their mother Cory on the morning of Valentine's Day 2006, and that QPD Detective Adam Gibson talked to four different pathologists about reviewing the case. Both details were mentioned during the first trial last year.
