POMONA, California (AP) -- A 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty Monday to murdering a California Highway Patrol officer who was gunned down as he stood outside a courthouse in April.

Valentino Mitchell Arenas pleaded guilty to first-degree murder of Officer Thomas Steiner and admitted the special circumstances of murder of a police officer, lying in wait and murder during a drive-by shooting, said Deputy District Attorney Linda Loftfield.

The plea was entered as jury selection for trial was under way.

Arenas, who also admitted that the killing was gang-related, faces up to life in prison without possibility of parole when he is sentenced January 28.

Sure. In order to avoid the Death Penalty, but I guess he's still a stand-up guy.
:evil:

I'm not saying he's a stand up guy. I'm just saying atleast he's not trying to lengthen out the case so that the family has to have more pain then they already have. IMO he's a douchebag that should be severely beaten then cut then shot then oc'd then thrown in the chair and fried.
