Second suspect pleads guilty to murder of World War II vet
SPOKANE, Wash. - The second teen accused of beating a World War II veteran to death during a robbery in Spokane accepted a deal Monday and pleaded guilty to murder.
In exchange, prosecutors dropped a robbery charge against 17-year-old Demetruis Glenn.
The first 17-year-old prosecuted in the case, Kenan Adams-Kinard, also pleaded guilty to murder. He was sentenced last month to 20 years in prison.
The Spokesman-Review reports prosecutors will recommend a 16-year prison term when Glenn is sentenced March 19.
Prosecutors say the two killed 88-year-old Delbert "Shorty" Belton in August 2013 outside an Eagles Lodge. They say Belton, who survived the Battle of Okinawa, was killed for his wallet.
