19 year old Zachary Linkous
entered an alford plea to voluntary
manslaughter and a gun charge yesterday
afternoon.
That means, he acknowledges
there's enough evidence to convict him,
but does NOT admit his guilt.

friend and neighbor, 15 year old Edward
Bertrand in the garage of a home in
2004.
He was originally charged with
first degree murder and scheduled to go
on trial next week.
Linkous will be sentenced by a

knocked her to the ground and stole her
vehicle but he ended up crashing the
S-U-V about 15 minutes later...and
while walking along the side of the
road HE was struck by three vehicles
and killed....
About two hours later police
found the body of a two year old girl
in the driveway of a vacant York County
home, near where the head on collision
occurred.
Police refuse to discuss whether
they believe the deaths were related...
The child's death is being
