PORTLAND (AP) — An Oregon woman who is one of two defendants in an ongoing hate crime trial has entered a guilty plea.
The Oregonian reports that 37-year-old Colleen Catherine Hunt has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
Hunt is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday on the charge that carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years.
Hunt and 40-year-old Russell Orlando Courtier are accused of the 2016 killing of 19-year-old Larnell Bruce Jr. in a Portland suburb.
Authorities say Hunt was a passenger in a Jeep driven by Courtier and encouraged him as he drove into Bruce following a fight with Courtier in front of a convenience store.
