A plea bargain could be announced Tuesday for two men accused of killing a Tracy woman in her home last summer.

Charles Slote, the attorney for Robert Plunkett-Morgan, 39, said he’d discussed a plea deal with prosecutor Valli Israels, but will know more Tuesday. Eric Taylor, attorney for the other suspect in the case, Jorge Morgan, 24, could not be reached for comment.

The registered domestic partners are scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Stockton.

The Morgans, who have told the court they’re a married couple, face life in prison without parole for the slaying of Cynthia Ramos, 58.

They are being held at Deuel Vocational Institute, a state prison east of Tracy.

If no plea is announced, the San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Bernard Garber will set a trial date.

Ramos was killed Aug. 6 in her home in Green Oaks Mobile Home Estates on MacArthur Drive in Tracy, where she was stabbed 55 times, bludgeoned 13 times and strangled.

Police arrested the Morgans, who lived next door to Ramos after her roommate told police she saw them running from the home with her suitcase, which she used to store her jewelry.

Prosecutors said last week District Attorney Jim Willett decided against pursuing the death penalty again the suspects.

Why in the hell should these vicious creeps be allowed a plea bargain? They need to be locked up for eternity.

I wish we could see new photos of these two. Their mug shots could frighten snakes.

Like the Menendez Brothers I'm sure they'll spend their time in separate prisons.

My prayers to Cynthia Ramos family & friends.
