SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A Texas man who has spent much of his life in prison has pleaded guilty to the 1995 killing of a woman who was attacked as she jogged near the Sacramento River in California.
James Earl Watkins, 42, pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder and admitted allegations of robbery, kidnapping and lying in wait, the Shasta County district attorney s office said in a statement.
He will be sentenced in August to life in prison without possibility of parole.
Last year, Watkins was linked to the June 24, 1995 killing of 37-year-old Christine Munro, a nurse and mother of four, through DNA analysis of scrapings from material found under her fingernails, authorities said.
