{Bluefield, West Virginia}...Forty-four year old Joseph Flack Jr. of Bluefield is scheduled to appear Thursday in Mercer County Circuit Court, where he will plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter, burglary and conspiracy in the 2011 fatal shooting of 17 year old Matthew Flack. Matthew Flack was killed during an attempted robbery at his home. Prosecutor Scott Ash says 19 year old Jacob Thomas of Pulaski, Virginia has agreed to plead guilty to the same charges.
