2 of 3 suspects take pleas in armed invasion of federal judge's home
Two of three suspects in a December invasion of a federal judge’s home in which she and her attorney husband were held at gunpoint have taken pleas.
Darrell Kinney and Terry Jackson Jr., both 21, are expected to get hefty prison terms and could serve nearly 20 years behind bars after pleading guilty Monday to charges including kidnapping and aggravated robbery, reports the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Demetrius Williams, 21, is the third suspect in the crime against U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott and Stanley Chesley at their suburban Cincinnati mansion. His Hamilton County Common Pleas case is headed toward trial.
Assistant county prosecutor Gus Leon said the trio targeted the couple because of their luxury car, followed them to the 27,000-square-foot home and then left. But a few hours later they allegedly returned with two pistols and a stun gun and held the couple at gunpoint for as long as 40 minutes in an effort to discover more valuables.
Chesley was injured when he was pushed down a short flight of steps and Dlott reportedly ran a mile barefoot to get help after the two escaped through a garage door.
