ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) _ A Missouri man has pleaded guilty in the fatal beating
of his 77-year-old grandmother while he was drinking alcohol and taking
prescription drugs.
Robert Forrester pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in last
September’s death of Beverly Forrester of St. Joseph. The 29-year-old grandson
faces up to life in prison when he’s sentenced later this year.
Robert Forrester told the judge he had been drinking whiskey and was on
sedatives when he attacked his grandmother at her St. Joseph home.
The grandson said he remembered killing the victim but did not feel emotionally
present during the attack.
