Cortland teen pleads guilty to first degree murder of classmate
Cortland County Court heard Matthew Covington, 19, admit guilty to the June 1996 slaying of 18 year old Melissa Marshall, avoiding a possible death sentence by choosing life imprisonment without parole. He described forcing her to stand with eyes closed before stabbing and bleeding to death in the woods near the high school. The case, tied to graduation plans, saw Covington narrate a torso‑trembling account, while prosecutors noted no clear motive. Covington faces sentencing on September 19.
