Teens Plead Guilty To Murder
WEST VIRGINIA....
Jimmy Thompson and Michael Thompson, both 19 years old, are both facing life in prison and will be sentenced once a mental evaluation is complete. Friday morning, they both pleaded guilty to first degree murder in connection to the November 2009 fatal stabbing of 51 year old James Gillespie of South Charleston. Police say the teens were drinking beer and getting high with Gillespie while at his home, when another teenager stole his pills. Gillespie realized they were gone, and got angry. That's when they say they kicked, strangled, stabbed him and stole other items from him.
