WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A man already serving life in prison for a murder in Georgia is asking to withdraw his guilty plea in the 2007 killing of his roommate at a Delaware mobile home park.
Jason Slaughter was sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty last year to second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Christopher Masters. A hearing was scheduled for Friday on Slaughter’s request to withdraw his plea.
Slaughter told police he and Masters were shot in a home invasion. The case went cold until Georgia police contacted Delaware authorities in 2010 after charging Slaughter and his wife in a fatal shooting, for which they both were convicted of murder.
