Bustamante Plea Possible Today
(Jefferson City, MO)--Teen murder suspect Alyssa Bustamante could accept a plea deal in court today.
Bustamante is charged in the death of 9-year old Elizabeth Olten and is supposed to go to trial later this month.
Olten's family says prosecutors are going to offer the deal.
A family spokesperson says they've learned that the defense plans to accept the deal that lower the charge from first degree murder to second degree murder.
The new charges carry a 10 year minimum prison sentence.
The decision to offer the deal may be because of a confession blocked by the court.
A judge ruled the confession couldn't be used because a juvenile officer used deceptive tactics in the interview.
Olten was strangled and stabbed in 2009 near Jefferson City.
