  • He initially pleaded not guilty to 13 criminal counts, including six of attempted murder, but now proposes pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder, three of aggravated assault, and one of domestic violence.
  • Military prosecutors confirmed they have not negotiated a plea deal, meaning Radford could still face a life prison sentence if his guilty plea is accepted by a military judge.
