Friend Set To Enter Guilty Plea
According to a court filing Tuesday (today), 47 year old Valerie Friend, whose retrial was slated for October 27th., is expected to enter a guilty plea Thursday, October 1st., on unspecified charges relating to the 2005 murder of drug informant 33 year old Carla Collins. Friend and George Lecco were convicted in 2007, but the verdicts were overturned when it was discovered one of the jurors, who recommended death sentences, failed to reveal he was under criminal investigation.
