A man accused of raping and murdering 10-year-old Kami Ring near Port Deposit is facing a 67-year prison term after accepting a plea deal Tuesday...
The defendant, Richard Eugene Madden Jr., 31, entered an Alford plea to first-degree murder on Tuesday as part of binding plea agreement amid the latest in a string of more than 15 pre-trial motions that have occurred in the past several months.
As part of the binding plea bargain, Cecil County Circuit Court Administrative Judge Keith A. Baynes will impose a life sentence on Madden and then suspend all but 67 years sentencing, which is scheduled for next month.
