ACCUSED MURDERER BACKS OUT OF PLEA DEAL

(Richmond, IN)--Thursday was supposed to be the day that an accused Richmond murderer was sentenced, but now that’s off because he’s backed out of his plea agreement.  Almost two years ago, Tayshawn Newman allegedly shot and killed Gerald Mullins on North 13th because Mullins sold him marijuana that he didn’t like.  Newman fled the area but was eventually captured in Nevada.  The withdrawal from the plea now means the case goes to trial.  That’s been set for late July.
