prosecutor in a large district

  You are a prosecutor in a large district. You have received a case involving a crime against a child where the child victim is 10 years old. You have a strong case against the suspect and expect to win at trial. The penalty for the crimes carries 20 years to life for the perpetrator should the jury find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The parents have expressed they want the maximum penalty. Testifying will be detrimental to the 10-year-old but the child wants to testify and the parents have agreed. A therapist has assured you the child is strong enough to tell the story on the stand but is concerned about long-term effects. You have 5 other high-profile cases and 20 other felonies backlogged. The District Attorney has been encouraging the ADAs to plea bargain as much as possible to keep costs down because the budget is being crunched for the high-profile trials. The defense has signaled they want to confer about a plea bargain of 15 years with 5 years suspended. What should you do?
