The deal would have allowed Hussain to avoid jail and only serve 4 years probation.
The judge wanted him to serve 4 years. in jail instead. The judges decision brought about applause from the victims families in the courtroom.
The defense withdrew the plea, the judge accepted and now there will be a trial likely December 5th.
20 people died, including a SUNY Oswego Professor who was in the path of the out of control limo, when the brakes failed and it went careening through a parking lot and down a ravine.
