The court case involving Bella Culley has been delayed as both the prosecution and the defense work to finalize a plea bargain.

The delay was announced yesterday by the presiding judge at the District Court of Newland. The prosecution stated that they are in the final stages of negotiating a plea deal with Culley’s defense team. The exact details of the plea bargain have not been disclosed to the public.
