A teen accused of killing a pregnant Wichita girl has pleaded guilty to the crime.
Everett Gentry, 17, pleaded guilty to capital murder Friday morning in the case involving Chelsea Brooks, the pregnant teen who was killed and dumped in Butler County. Because he is a juvenile, the maximum sentence he could receive is the Hard 40 or Hard 50 sentence, meaning he would not be eligible for parole for 40 or 50 years respectively.
Because of Gentry's plea Friday, the state will recommend life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years, reducing the maximum from 40 or 50.
Gentry told the court that he talked to Elgin Robinson on the phone. Robinson is another defendant in the case. Gentry said Robinson told him he wanted to pick Chelsea up and have her killed because she was having Ray's baby.
Robinson reportedly told Gentry he would pay him $500 to kill her. Gentry's friend, Theodore Burnett said he would do it.
Gentry went on to testify that Robinson picked Chelsea up from the skating rink then Burnett got in the backseat behind her. Burnett then strangled Chelsea with a cord.
Gentry said he then helped dig the grave where they dumped her body in Butler County.
As part of the plea agreement, Gentry will have to testify at Robinson's and Burnett's trials.
