Good:
One of two men facing kidnapping and murder charges in the killing of Cincinnati Reds prospect Dernell Stenson has entered a plea agreement.Every time this is revisited I think about what a waste the entire thing was. Of Stenson's promising life, and of his killers. He was killed by 19-20 year olds who'll now rot in jail for the rest of their lives (and rightfully so). Such stupidity and tragedy.
By pleading guilty to first-degree murder, 21-year-old Reginald Riddle avoids a possible death sentence. He also agreed to testify against co-defendant David Griffith, whose trial is set for September.Riddle and Griffith are accused of abducting Stenson in his own S-U-V as he left a Scottsdale, Arizona, nightclub in November 2003.
Court records allege they drove to nearby Chandler, where Stenson tried to flee the vehicle and was shot several times. He then became entangled in a seatbelt and was dragged more than one-thousand feet.
