Man Pleads Guilty To Voluntary Manslaughter

{West Virginia}...Emanuel Armond McCarty has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter after being charged with first degree murder in the March shooting death of Michael Grady who was found shot to death in a van that crashed into a yard on Charleston's West Side. Prosecutor Mark Plants says he agreed to the deal because there were conflicting witness statements that could have made it difficult to convict McCarty of murder.  McCarty faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced on December 5th.
