Man enters no-contest plea to murdering father

PONTIAC (AP) -- A 20-year-old Detroit-area man has short-circuited his murder trial by pleading no-contest to accusations he killed his father and injured his mother and brother with a baseball bat. Tucker Cipriano entered the plea Monday during a break for a jury hearing the case in Oakland County Circuit Court. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and attempted murder and faces an automatic penalty of life in prison without parole when Judge Shalina Kumar sentences him July 9. Robert Cipriano was killed inside his Farmington Hills home in April 2012. His wife Rose and their son Sal were also attacked. Sal Cipriano still is in a hospital. Published: Wed, Jun 19, 2013
