On Friday, he pleaded guilty to one count of interstate stalking resulting in death and one count of stalking through the use of interstate facilities, giving rise to death.

The family looked very emotional as the plea hearing proceeded, fighting back tears and holding hands with one another.
Their statement mentioned the following: "Today's guilty plea marks a very important step towards justice for Brian and for our family!"
