==Schoking plea deal==
The Plea Deal.
Instead of going to trial, Alnaji received a plea agreement that includes one year in jail plus probation. Prosecutors, the victim Kessler's family, became outraged, as well as Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League ([[ADL]]) and the [[Combat Antisemitism Movement]], have strongly criticized the deal as “woefully inadequate,” warning it undervalues the life of a Jewish victim and could embolden further violence against Jews.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the circumstances of the killing during Israel-related protests and concerns over the leniency of the outcome.<ref>[https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2026/05/06/judge-allegedly-bypassed-das-office-to-offer-loay-alnaji-a-sweetheart-plea-deal-in-kessler-death-n2202046 CA Judge Allegedly Bypassed DA to Offer Pro-Hamas Professor a Sweetheart Deal for Killing Jewish Man].
