"AKRON, Ohio - A convicted rapist admitted to a 1998 murder and was sentenced to a long prison term Monday as another man once blamed for the crime called him a coward who ruined lives.

Earl Mann, 35, avoided a trial and a possible death sentence in an agreement with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to the aggravated murder and rape of Judith Johnson and the attempted murder and two counts of rape of Johnson's granddaughter, then 6 years old."

What a shame someone else had to be wrongfully convicted. Good thing for the nephew snatching that cigarette.
