Laura Owens

All new tonight, Laura Owens could take a plea deal instead of going to trial.

35-year-old Laura Owens back in court, this time discussing a possible plea deal on the table.

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office won't discuss the terms of that plea deal with us, but during a pre-trial conference this morning, Owens' attorney confirmed a plea deal has been extended.

In February 2026, the state of Arizona offered Laura Owens a plea deal for the 14 felonies.

Accepting the plea would likely mean a more lenient sentence if she admits to guilt on at least some of the charges.

The exact terms of the plea aren't public, but I called Clayton to see what he's able to share.

It leaves one huge question hanging in the air.

Will Laura take responsibility?

or head to trial and fight to prove her innocence.

We've caught you up to the biggest cliffhanger in this entire story.

And it's happening in real time.

Because that plea deal?

It's currently set to expire the same day this episode comes out, Thursday, April 30th.

It seems like a black and white decision, but I've been following this story long enough to know somehow Laura always tries to find a way out.

We'll let you know what happens on the next and final episode of Love Trapped.

Try to leave.
