INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ A man charged with a drug-related quadruple homicide in Indianapolis has rejected a plea agreement that would have spared him the death penalty.
Twenty-six-year-old Kenneth “Cody'' Rackemann said during a Friday court hearing that he cannot accept the plea agreement he'd recently reached.
Rackemann had agreed to plead guilty to four counts of murder, along with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery charges, in the February 2014 slayings. That plea deal called for him to serve life in prison, sparing him from the death penalty.
Prosecutors say they will move forward with the death penalty for Rackerman in the shooting deaths of four people during a botched robbery at an Indianapolis drug house.
Those shootings killed 47-year-old Walter Burnell, 43-year-old Jacob Rodemich, 22-year-old Kristy Sanchez and 21-year-old Hayley Navarro.
