CINCINNATI (AP) - An Ohio man charged in four killings has pleaded guilty to murder and other charges in two of those cases, involving women who died in 2006.
The pleas from 41-year-old Anthony Kirkland came Thursday before the start of opening statements at his trial in Cincinnati. He remains on trial in the deaths of two teenage girls.
The registered sex offender was arrested in March 2009 and accused of strangling 13-year-old Esme Kenney a few weeks after his release from a halfway house. Kirkland also is charged in the killing of 14-year-old Casonya Crawford.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the teens' killings.
