MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO KILLING THREE BOYS

A man has pleaded guilty to stabbing to death three boys - including two brothers who had gone cycling in a park - and trying to murder a youngster he snatched from a movie theater.

A jury will be selected June 25 to decide the penalty for 28-year-old Westley Allan Dodd - death or life in prison without parole.

Dodd had been held without bail since his arrest Nov. 13 on charges of murdering Lee Joseph Iseli, 4, of Portland, Ore., and brothers Cole Neer, 11, and William Neer, 10, of Vancouver.

The Neer brothers' bodies were found Sept. 4 in a park. Iseli's body was discovered near Vancouver Lake Nov. 1, three days after he disappeared from a Portland schoolyard. Rape charges were dropped for lack of evidence.
