Plea Bargain for Two Time Killer

In Ohio, a man's received a 15-year sentence for the murder of a young woman.

But this man's already killed. He was convicted of 1st degree murder as a juvenile less than a decade ago.

I understand that prosecutors don't have enough staff, and that plea bargains can represent an easy way to get garden variety criminals behind bars for a few years. But if you can't marshall the resources to go after a two-time killer who's just 24-years old... there's something seriously wrong.
