FARMINGTON — A Layton man accused of killing a woman without provocation on their first date is considering a potential plea agreement, his defense attorney said Tuesday.
But prosecutors say there's no deal. They're making it clear that they haven't offered to downgrade the murder charge against Ethan Hunsaker, 25, or recommend a lighter prison sentence in exchange for a guilty plea in Farmington's 2nd District Court.
Hunsaker is charged with murder, a first-degree felony, in the death of Ashlyn Black, 25. After meeting on Tinder, the pair went to a bar and returned to his home, where he choked and stabbed Black hours later while they were cuddling, according to charging documents.
