CLANTON, Ala. (AP) - Two Clanton men who were about to go on trial for murder have reached plea agreements.
The two, 33-year-old Christopher Iman Ulmer and 31-year-old Kowosky Tywan Christian, faced murder charges in the 2006 shooting death of Issac Dedarge Bulger of Clanton.
The Clanton Advertiser reports that under plea agreements announced Monday, Ulmer pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will be sentenced Dec. 2, and Christian pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution and was sentenced to three years in prison.
Officials say the men were in a truck from which someone shot into the victim's car.
