COEUR D'ALENE -- Kootenai County prosecutors have accepted the plea deal offered by Joseph Duncan's attorneys. The new plea deal will have Duncan plead guilty to 3 counts of first degree murder, 3 counts of first degree kidnapping, waive his right to extradition and future court appeals. Duncan will also give up all passcodes to encrypted data on his computer.
In exchange, Duncan would serve at least 3 life sentences and could still face the death penalty in Kootenai County if Federal prosecutors fail to get a death penalty conviction. That outcome will not be known until Duncan's Federal charges are faced.
Late Sunday evening, the Kootenai Co. Sheriff's Office announced jury selection is cancelled on Monday. Capt. Ben Wolfinger tells KREM 2 North Idaho reporter Erik Hedlund he attended a meeting with First District Judge Fred Gibler on Sunday, who called a court hearing at 9am Monday morning.
