“Mine entirely,” Wade replied.
Outside the courtroom, First Assistant District Attorney Tim Barker said the plea agreement recently came together as the two sides were preparing for trial, which was supposed to begin on Monday.
“We felt that this was a fair, a just resolution,” said Barker, who noted that Wade accepted responsibility for committing the murder and faces a considerable potential sentence. “The victims were entirely supportive of this agreement. Clearly, that is really important to us.”
Barker declined to discuss the motive for the killing before sentencing.

It includes an important part of the viewshed across Lake Aldred from popular Conservancy preserves like Tucquan Glen & Pyfer, House Rock, Reed Run and Pinnacle Overlook.

Hellam Hills Nature Preserve in York County recently was expanded by 70 acres and now stands at more than 1,000 acres.
According to the Lancaster Conservancy, the expansion occurred through a land deal with Ralph Streibig, who donated part of the value of the land in memory of his husband, Richard L. King, and King’s family, who loved the land and worked to preserve it for future generations.
The nature preserve northeast of York now is nearly 800 contiguous protected acres and more than 1,000 acres total.
The conservancy completed the purchase with a Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
