King Boys Confess To Killing Dad
Florida teenagers Derek (left) and Alex King today pleaded guilty to the November 2001 bludgeoning murder of their father. As part of their plea agreements, Derek, 14, and Alex, 13, were each required to submit these two-page written statements describing their role in the murder of 40-year-old Terry King, who was beaten to death with an aluminum baseball bat while he slept in his Panhandle home (which the boys torched following the killing). During a Circuit Court hearing, the brothers each pleaded to third-degree murder and arson counts; Derek was sentenced to eight years in prison, while his younger brother will serve seven years. In addition, Alex has agreed to testify against Ricky Chavis, 41, who is awaiting trial on charges of being an accessory after the fact to Terry King's murder and sexually molesting Alex King.
