Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi reported that Michael
Carter, 43, pleaded guilty today to Aggravated Manslaughter, admitting
that he fatally shot Frances Lillian Keaton, F/45, on March 29, 2003,
in Camden.
Carter, of the 1500 block of Park Boulevard in Camden, admitted to
Superior Court Judge Robert G. Millenky that after he argued with
the victim early that morning in a cemetery in the 900 block of Haddon
Avenue in Camden, he pulled a handgun and shot her once in the head.
Passersby found the body of the victim, who had lived in the 1300
block of Park Boulevard, at approximately 9:30 a.m. that day. Carter
was arrested on April 4, 2003.
The plea agreement negotiated by Assistant Prosecutor Teresa Garvey
calls for Carter to be sentenced to a 16-year prison term, including
85 percent, or just more than 13½ years, to be served before he becomes
eligible for parole.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 18, 2005.
