Plea defeats death penalty in Witmer case at hearing
Daren Witmer 24 sat in court with leg irons and a cross, answering yes sir to Judge Dwyer. He pleaded guilty to two murders to avoid the death penalty, receiving life without parole plus 10 years. He told a reporter he fathered a child born Aug 9 with his girlfriend Cassandra Summers, and said prison would be temporary. Relatives of the victims expressed heartbreak as Witmer, once a fugitive, discussed his lack of remorse and belief that God does not answer all prayers. Detention officials noted his hollow, emotionless stance throughout the proceedings.
