In one of the more horrifying local news items of last year, a garden-loving 60-year-old man was beaten to death at a traffic circle in Rainier Beach. The assaulter, Brian Keith Brown, just pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder charge brought against him and will now face sentencing in May. He's probably looking at between eight and eleven years in prison. Last summer he pled not guilty, so the case against him must have been looking particularly strong. We're not shedding any tears for this guy, though.

Brian Keith Brown, the man accused of killing a Rainier Beach gardener with a single punch, pled not guilty today to second-degree murder charges. The hearing was brief, reportedly taking only five minutes, but it's just the beginning of what is sure to be a long and emotional case. Brown will be tried later this year, where we imagine an objective jury could be difficult to find. Until trial, he'll remain in jail. He's been forbidden by the judge to have contact with the three women also involved in the traffic altercation, including his girlfriend.
