Man pleads guilty in 2001 slaying at credit union
DETROIT (AP) -- A man has pleaded guilty just as he was about to go on trial in the 2001 fatal shooting of an armored-truck courier who was stocking ATMs at a Dearborn credit union.
Jury selection was to get under way Tuesday for the murder trial in federal court in Detroit.
Instead, 43-year-old Norman Duncan entered a guilty plea to murder in the death of Norman Stephens. The government wanted to pursue the death penalty but dropped it last year.
The 30-year-old father of six was shot in the back while already wounded outside Dearborn Federal Credit Union. Duncan wasn't accused of pulling the trigger.
Duncan admitted to Judge Victoria Roberts on Tuesday that he was taking part in a robbery that led to Stephens' death.
