BROWN PLEADS
GUILTY TO MURDER
20-year-old Edward
Brown, scheduled to go on trial this week in connection with
last summer’s murder of DeMarco Taylor, pleaded guilty to
first-degree felony murder this morning in Denver District
Court. Brown had been charged with both first-degree murder
after deliberation and first-degree felony murder in the case.
He now faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without
parole.
To afford the
victim’s family an opportunity to address the court, Brown’s
sentencing has been scheduled for May 20, 2002.
He still has a
pending first-degree murder and attempt murder case pending in
Denver, and an additional murder case pending in Arapahoe
County.
