Man Pleads Guilty To Murder Of Four Year Old
KENTUCKY....
Cecil New II pleaded guilty Thursday to kidnapping and killing 4 year old César Ivan Aguilar-Cano, who disappeared while playing outside his home near Churchill Downs. New admitted his guilt to charges of murder, kidnapping, tampering with physical evidence and unlawful transaction with a minor for giving the boy alcohol before he killed him and dumped his body in the trash. Ivan's body was found July 7, 2007, inside a garbage truck. New entered an open plea, making him eligible to receive the death penalty and waiving his right to an appeal. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jon Heck said during the hearing that prosecutors will ask for the death penalty. An October 25th hearing is set to decide a date for arguments in New's sentencing.
