PITTSBURGH (AP) - A man pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter for failing to properly hitch a wood-chipper to his truck in an accident that killed a man and two of his young triplets.
Bradley Demitras was scheduled to stand trial Monday but struck a deal with prosecutors instead. He pleaded guilty to three counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of reckless endangerment.
"He's had a very hard time with this case, as I have, as everyone involved has," said his attorney, Patrick Thomassey. "We wanted to spare the family and everyone involved from the rigors of a trial."
