CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — A Colorado man, who admits killing a prison guard, avoided risking the death penalty by pleading guilty on Thursday to First Degree Murder and Possession of Contraband.
Edward Montour’s plea wraps up a legal saga which lasted nearly 12 years.
Montour was already serving a life sentence for killing his 11 month old daughter, Taylor, when he killed prison guard Eric Autobee at the Limon Correctional Facility in October 2002.
