An accused Wisconsin killer and kidnapper says he will plead guilty to avoid a trial.
It was revealed yesterday that Jake Patterson sent a letter last month to a reporter at KARE-TV in Minneapolis saying he wants to spare the family of Jayme Closs the stress of a trial. Patterson is awaiting trial on charges in Barron County that he kidnapped the thirteen-year-old after murdering her parents in October. The teen was able to escape earlier this year, three months after her capture.
