Willie Kelsey killed a 7-year-old with 11 shots, and put five bullets in the child’s teenaged sister for only $100 and a show of loyalty to a friend.

Kelsey accepted a negotiated plea deal that would give him life with the possibility of parole plus 80 years in prison, as opposed to the death sentence prosecutors initially sought when he was indicted in 2007.
