TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Harvey Louis Martin pleaded guilty to the Dec. 27, 2018 murders of two victims, who both were shot in the head.
Caleb McGrady of Tyler was 26 and Krista Newman of Frankston was 25 at the time of the shooting.
In Judge Skeen’s court, the plea agreement brought the charge from capital murder, punishable by death, to murder, a first-degree felony with a possible life sentence.
The plea agreement waives Martin’s right to appeal or request a new trial.
