OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A 33-year-old Kansas man has pleaded guilty in the death of a former Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader in a traffic crash while he was fleeing from police.
The Kansas City Star reports Roy Lee Maney of Shawnee pleaded guilty Wednesday to reckless second-degree murder and leaving the accident scene in the collision that killed 30-year-old dance instructor Tiffany Mogenson in October 2013.
In a plea deal, Johnson County prosecutors dismissed charges of aggravated battery and obstructing the legal process.
Mogenson’s husband called the plea agreement “absolutely sickening” and has hired attorneys to ask the judge to not accept the plea.
Mogenson was stopped at a Prairie Village intersection when Maney’s car hit the back of her vehicle at an estimated 90 mph, killing her instantly.
