Similar Stories to Confessed Killer Testifies Against Man With Bodies In Yard on Bing News

(AP) — A confessed killer told a jury Tuesday he helped a man torture and kill a pharmacist and the pharmacist's girlfriend as part of a plot to rob him of tens of thousands of dollars he had made from illegal drug sales. Weakley, 46, avoided a potential death sentence by pleading guilty to federal charges in connection with the case. While prosecutors can petition for a reduction of his life sentence based on his cooperation, Weakley said Tuesday he expects to spend the rest of his days in prison. The defense calls Weakley a liar — and the sole culprit in the homicides. Kerkowski had pleaded guilty to running a prescription drug ring out of his Wyoming County pharmacy and was awaiting sentencing when his family reported him missing in May 2002. Selenski told Kerkowski he could help the pharmacist with his court case, and Kerkowski gave him tens of thousands of dollars for legal work that Selenski never performed, Weakley said. Weakley said he bound the pharmacist with flex ties and duct tape, covered his eyes with the tape, beat him with a rolling pin and choked him until he told them the location of about $60,000 in cash he kept in his house.
