Delaware v. Brian Peterson
Plea agreement
Brian Peterson, 19, captured national headlines after being accused with
his girlfriend Amy Grossberg of murdering their newborn son and dumping
his body in a Delaware motel dumpster. With the prospect of an impending
May 4th trial, Peterson plead guilty to manslaughter on March 9, 1998.
As part of the agreement, he now faces a maximum of 10 years in prison
instead of life in prison or the death sentence that he would have faced
if convicted of murder. His co-defendant, Amy Grossberg, plead guilty to
manslaughter a month later on April 22. The following is Peterson's plea
agreement.
