Co-Defendant In Erie Collar-Bomb To Plead Guilty

ERIE (AP) ― A northwestern Pennsylvania man is expected to plead guilty to conspiracy in a bizarre 2003 bank robbery that led to the collar-bomb death of a pizza delivery man.

Defense attorney Jamie Mead says Kenneth Barnes will plead guilty Wednesday to his role in planning the heist.

Brian Wells, the pizza delivery man, told police he had been forced at gunpoint to wear a bomb around his neck and rob the bank.

Wells was killed when the device exploded as police waited for the bomb squad.

Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong is accused of masterminding the plot. A federal judge ruled recently that she's not mentally competent to stand trial, but that could change depending on how she responds to medication and treatment.
