Karol-Chik has been offered a plea deal of (max) 35 years to testify against Koenig & Kwak. He has until 11am tomorrow to accept.
Oh and his motion to suppress his confession was denied.

Kwaks trial has already been wiped from the docket.
Karol-chiks still shows up, so not sure if that means he did not take the plea deal or what. Could also just be leaving it on the docket till he formally pleas in court. Who knows, he has a hearing May 15th, guess we will know then.

As a "souvenir"??

Karol-Chik just pleaded guilty. Plea deal. Sounds like 35-48 years. Could be up to 72 depending on if he is given consecutive or concurrent sentence. Id imagine 48 will be the max imo
Sentencing September 10th, 1pm.
Have to wonder if Koenig will still go to trial.

"Kwak said they would use 'marine terms' when launching the rocks,
saying:
'Mitch would say things like, ‘contact left,’ before Joseph would throw the rock at a car on the left side of theirs.'
He said the rock which killed Bartell made
a 'very loud noise... like a rail gun' when it made contact with her windshield.
Koenig was described by a friend as someone who likes creating 'chaos' and would often act in a destructive manner.
'Joseph and Mitch were talking about them now being
‘blood brothers’
and they could never speak of the incident,'
Kwak added.
The three met up the following day to
'get their stories straight'.
They had thrown rocks at vehicles on about ten occasions since February.
Six other cars were damaged and two more drivers were injured on the night Bartell was killed."
