Wife's Killer Pleads Guilty to Lesser Charges
18 Nov
Summary
- Man pleaded guilty to misleading police and unlawful body conveyance.
- He denies the murder charge despite admitting to lesser offenses.
- Sentencing was delayed for victim's family impact statements.
Ahead of his murder trial, a suburban Boston man entered a guilty plea for two lesser charges related to his wife's death. He admitted to misleading investigators and the unlawful conveyance of a human body. Despite these admissions, his defense attorney stated he continues to deny the murder charge, including allegations of disposing of or incinerating his wife's remains.
The court addressed a moment of contention when the defendant claimed he was still married while under oath, later clarifying legally he was not after his wife's passing. Sentencing has been postponed to permit the victim's family to present their impact statements.
Prosecutors indicated the plea was not negotiated, suggesting the trial will move forward with the primary charge of murder. This development marks a significant step in the legal proceedings against the convicted fraudster accused of killing his wife.
