Guilty plea is expected in '07 Lancaster slayings

LANCASTER - A Lancaster teen accused of stabbing to death a classmate and the other boy's parents will plead guilty in the case June 17, a prosecutor said Friday. Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman declined to name the offenses that Alec D. Kreider, 17, is expected to admit. As a juvenile, Kreider does not face the death penalty.
