Man accused of fatal double shooting accepts manslaughter plea deal

According to the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office, in April Jared Pawlus killed his two roommates and got into a standoff with the New Orleans Police Department in the French Quarter. At the arraignment, District Attorney Jason Williams said his office reached a plea deal with Pawlus.

“We were able to bring this to a resolution and spare this wonderful family years of retraumatization that a lengthy trial would have certainly brought,” Williams said.

In exchange for his plea, Pawlus agreed to a sentence of 55 years in prison.
