webfact Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Teenager pleads guilty in beating death of WW2 veteranBy NICHOLAS K. GERANIOSSPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A 17-year-old pleaded guilty Wednesday to murder in the beating death of 88-year-old Delbert Belton, a World War II veteran who survived the battle of Okinawa but was killed in a robbery outside a Washington state bar in 2013.Kenan Adams-Kinard pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for two lesser charges being dropped. He faces a standard sentence to 20 to 27 years in prison when he is sentenced at a later date.Adams-Kinard and Demetruis Glenn were both 16 when they were charged with severely beating Belton in his car on Aug. 21, 2013, during a robbery. The veteran died of his injuries the next day.The beating death of the diminutive veteran, who was known as "Shorty," sparked outrage in Spokane.The courtroom was packed Wednesday with family members of Adams-Kinard and Belton.After the hearing, Pastor Ezra Kinlow spoke to reporters on behalf of the Adams-Kinard family.Kinlow said Kenan Adams-Kinard made the decision on his own to plead guilty."There is nothing we can do about it," Kinlow said. "We feel that Kenan got in trouble and he has to pay.""The family is hurt," he said.Belton's family and friends did not talk to reporters after the hearing, which was held under tight security. But one family member talked to a newspaper on Tuesday.Adams-Kinard "did a really terrible, terrible thing to an old man who was defenseless, and he needs to be punished for what he did," Bobbie Belton, daughter-in-law of the victim, told The Spokesman-Review.Adams-Kinard and Glenn had been scheduled to go on trial together next week. Glenn's trial is still scheduled to begin on Monday.Prosecutors charged both teens as adults with first-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.Spokane County Prosecutor Larry Haskell said the Belton family supported the plea agreement.He declined to say if the plea deal would require Adams-Kinard to testify against Glenn.Adams-Kinard, who entered the courtroom in handcuffs and chains, repeatedly said "yes sir" as Spokane County Superior Court Judge Sam Cozza questioned him about the plea agreement.Asked for his plea, the teenager said: "Guilty."Under terms of the deal, Adams-Kinard would serve 20 years in prison, with credit for time already served. He would remain in a juvenile jail until age 21, and serve three years of probation after his eventual release. However, the sentencing judge is not bound by that deal, Cozza said.Glenn turned himself in to police shortly after surveillance photos were distributed by investigators. Adams-Kinard was found by police a few days later, hiding in an apartment.Adams-Kinard claimed in a letter to his mother that Belton was a drug dealer and had shorted them in a crack cocaine deal. Police dismissed those claims as unfounded.Belton returned to Spokane after World War II and spent decades working at Kaiser Aluminum before retiring. -- (c) Associated Press 2015-01-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a bar, it was an Eagles Lodge. If my memory is correct, Delbert was beaten over the head with a heavy steel flashlight. 88 year old WWII Vet that survived the battle of Okinawa.

Popular Post giddyup Posted January 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2015 Lets hear from all those that protested the shooting of Michael Brown by the white policeman. The silence will be deafening from Al Sharpton and his ilk. Personally I think this crime scrapes the bottom of the human barrel. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nearly all come from single mother families with no male role models. Not making excuses for these low-lifes, but the black male is notorious for spreading his seed randomly and accepting no responsibility, so not sure what kind of role model they would represent anyway. Mean time mum continues to breed like a rabbit. Of course all the problems that the blacks have are laid directly at the feet of whitey. It's only going to get worse. Heaven forbid you say that in USA, they will call you a racist.... there is a very ugly subculture that goes with the African American race , but that still doesn't excuse them getting straight up murdered by police 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailiketoo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I presume the white people in Spokane will now be out burning and looting black businesses? There are maybe only 2 or 3 business owned by black people. Spokane has one of the smallest percentages of black people in the USA. Although there was a black mayor there in 1981 he won by a big margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
