GUILTY - FL - Savannah Gold, 21, Jacksonville, 2 Aug 2017
2/16/21 Update: Present: Judge Jeb Branham, Asst. State attorney Chyna-Michele Makarowski, attorney for defense Alan Chipperfield & defendant present in jail. Defendant has agreed to plead guilty in a negotiated sentence to charges of second-degree murder & evidence tampering. He’s scheduled to formally enter that plea during a Thursday, 2/18/21 @ 1pm disposition hearing. Sentencing on 3/11/21 where the terms of the finalized agreement, not yet release, will be provided to the Judge before the 3/11/21 sentencing hearing.
2/18/21 Update: Judge Jeb Branham has accepted Rodarte’s guilty plea to the 2nd degree murder of Savannah. Rodarte had also been charged with evidence tampering & abusing a body, but those charges were dropped as part of his plea agreement. The plea agreement would have Rodarte serve 40 years (with credit for time served) in state prison rather than the life sentence that he was eligible to if the case went to trial. Sentencing hearing on 3/11/21.

This says will be 40 years. I didn't know that was the plea deal but this is from this am. The report also covers that his sister, Amber, is in jail for murder too as we have discussed on the threads.
And victim impacts will be today. I'll check to see if in 30 minutes there is a livestream anywhere. Unless someone posts such before me.
Below is NOT a live feed, just today's update.
