GUILDHALL, Vt. (AP) — A Guildhall man has pleaded guilty to charges he shot and killed his girlfriend in the home they shared.
Twenty-nine-year-old Christopher Chase had been charged with first degree murder in the August 2008 shooting death of 22-year-old Sara Bragdon.
WCAX-TV is reporting Chase pleaded guilty to a charge of second degree murder. Prosecutors said it would have been too hard to prove premeditation, a requirement for the more serious charge.
Chase told investigators he didn’t remember why he shot Bragdon.
Chase is facing 20 years to life in prison. Sentencing will be at a later date.
