Man pleads guilty to killing 4; cousin rejects plea deal
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Two cousins accused of killing together could find themselves pitted against one another in court after one took a plea deal Wednesday and the other rejected one in the gruesome deaths of four young men found buried last summer on a suburban Philadelphia farm.
Prosecutors vowed to seek the death penalty against Sean Kratz after the 21-year-old stunned prosecutors, victims' families and even his own lawyer in turning down an offer that would have put him in prison for at least 59 years.
"Unexpected outcome," said Kratz's lawyer, Craig Penglase.
