Forbes pleaded no contest to charges that included involuntary manslaughter. Forbes initially was charged with felony murder in the May 2015 shooting death of 17-year-old Allie Saum. His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 9.
In a separate hearing, Woodring said he pleaded no contest to felony murder because he felt pressured and didn’t believe he would receive a fair trial. The judge will rule Aug. 10. If the plea stands, Woodring would be required to serve 25 years of a life sentence before he’s eligible for parole.
