Rally held for teens ahead of plea meeting

RONKONKOMA, N.Y.

Dozens of people took part in a rally at the crash site in /*Ronkonkoma*/ on Wednesday.

They're urging a /*Suffolk County*/ judge not to take a plea deal from the driver who plowed into 17-year-old /*Eugene Franjola*/ and 16-year-old /*Stephen Massina*/ last April.

/*David Heise*/, 28, is expected to meet with the judge Thursday.

The deal would allow Heise to plead guilty in exchange for one year in jail.
