(KAIR)--An Atchison man has pleaded guilty to an amended charge in connection with a fatal crash in January that claimed the life of another Atchison man.
According to court documents, 22-year-old Brandon Mann pleaded guilty last Friday to an amended charge of second-degree murder in Atchison County District Court after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing.
Mann had originally been charged with first-degree murder.
In exchange for the plea, five other counts were dismissed.
Sentencing was set for September 6.
Atchison Police say Mann was attempting to flee from officers early January 2nd when he lost control of his car, which rolled onto its top.
Killed in the crash was a passenger, 20-year-old Jacey Paris.
Mann and two other passengers, aged 15 and 16, were injured and transported for hospital treatment.
Mann remains free on a $250,000 bond.
