If all went according to plan, church shooter Eiken Elam Saimon, 55, Neosho, is changing his plea and pleading guilty at this very moment to three counts of first degree murder and four counts of first degree assault.
In exchange for the plea, Saimon will be sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. The plea will prevent him from facing the death penalty.
The Joplin Globe had the scoop on the plea arrangment online Thursday.
Saimon entered the First Congregational Church of Neosho Sunday, Aug. 12, 2007, and killed leaders of a Micronesian church, which was holding services in the building, including Pastor Kernal Rehobson.
More information to come.
