OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A north Florida man accused of fatallybeating his roommate with a sledgehammer and claw hammer because
there was no toilet tissue in the home has pleaded guilty to
second-degree murder.
Circuit Judge David Eddy accepted Franklin Paul Crow's plea deal
Thursday. In exchange for the plea, Crow took an offer of 30 years
in prison.
Crow was charged with the February 2006 death of Kenneth
Matthews.
Crow told investigators that Matthews pulled out a rifle during
a fight about toilet tissue. Crow said he then began beating
Matthews with the sledgehammer and claw hammer, according to an
affidavit.
A message left for Assistant State Attorney John Moore was not
immediately returned. The phone at the public defender's office
would not accept messages.
