Hudson Slayings Suspect Expected to Plead Guilty

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Another defendant accused in a double slaying in Hudson appears to have reached a plea agreement.

The Associated Press reports court records filed Wednesday indicate 20-year-old Joseph Jude Jenkins is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 6 to change his pleas. He is one of five people accused in the stabbing deaths of 42-year-old Eric Clinton Likes and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Elva Charlotte Quiver, at Likes' home last year in a robbery plot.

Jenkins originally faced four counts of first-degree murder, two counts each of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, and a single arson charge. But as part of the plea deal, Jenkins is expected to plead guilty to two counts of aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
