Montana newlywed Jordan Linn Graham to plead guilty in husband's murder
http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/12/justice/montana-newlywed-death-trial/index.html?hpt=hp_t2Missoula, Montana (CNN) -- In a plea deal reached between the prosecution and defense, newlywed Jordan Linn Graham, accused of pushing her husband over a Montana cliff, has agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for waiving a first-degree murder charge and a lying to investigators charge, the prosecutor said Thursday in court.
The deal was announced after the prosecution and defense rested their cases but before any closing arguments were made. There was a courtroom break after the defense rested.
Graham at first maintained that she had simply speculated Johnson, 25, might have gone there. But an FBI agent said that she changed her story when she was shown a surveillance photo of the couple entering the park together.
