Warsaw Boy Pleads Guilty to Murder Conspiracy

WARSAW, Ind. (AP) – An Indiana teenager has formally pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder under a plea agreement announced two weeks ago.

WSBT-TV reports 15-year-old Paul Gingerich pleaded guilty Monday in Kosciusko  Circuit Court to the same charge he pleaded guilty to three years ago, but then successfully appealed.

Gingerich was one of three juveniles charged with killing 49-year-old Phillip Danner in April 2010 in a plot to run away to Arizona.

The plea deal calls for a 30-year sentence with five years suspended, meaning Gingerich would remain under state supervision for 25 years. He could serve that time in a maximum-security facility if he gets in trouble, or in a group home, community corrections, on probation or parole if he's well-behaved.

Sentencing is scheduled for February 3rd, 2014.
