| Confession In Bizarre Collar Bomb Plot |
| 2008-09-05 |
| A man admitted Wednesday in federal court that he helped plot a bizarre bank robbery that ended when a bomb strapped around a pizza deliveryman's neck exploded and killed him, the first conviction in the five-year-old case. Kenneth Barnes pleaded guilty to conspiracy and a charge of aiding and abetting at a hearing in which prosecutors also revealed new details, based on a statement by Barnes, about deliveryman Brian Wells' alleged involvement in the scheme. According to Barnes, Wells tried to back out on the day of the robbery, refusing to put on the collar-bomb after realizing it was real. Another plotter then fired a single shot from a gun, scaring him into putting it around his neck. |

| #2 Prosecutors also said Wells lied to the police officers who caught him, telling them he had been abducted by a group of black men even though all the alleged plotters were white let his fellow prisoners hear about that.... |

| #1 "If he died, he could not be a witness," ...and everyone else's cut would be bigger. A strong whiff of Darwinism seems in play. |
