Plea bargain

According to a reporter pal, lawyers have worked out a plea agreement on the extortion charges against Aggie O'Brien. Her federal court date is set for May 10. In the ugly and high-profile case that broke last summer, Ms. O'Brien is accused of trying to blackmail a wealthy horse breeder with whom she was formerly friends. Ever since, locals have been baffled trying to imagine what dirt she thought she had on the victim.
