Accused killer rejects plea deal in Gaston County case
Mark Collins, 39, of Gastonia, turned down a plea offer after a competency hearing. He faces first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and gun related counts for the May 28 2012 shooting that killed Theresa Louise Sanders. A proposed deal of 17 to 21 years would dismiss other charges if guilty to second degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
