Illinois teens plead guilty to 2nd-degree murder in beating of homeless man?

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Two Illinois teens face up to 20 years in prison for the fatal beating of a homeless man over a can of beer.





Seventeen-year-old Joseph Raines and 18-year-old Brandon Bouck pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder. In exchange, prosecutors dropped first-degree murder charges.





Prosecutor Susan Jensen says testimony would have shown that the Granite City teens told a friend they punched and kicked Thomas Muffler last October.





Jensen says Muffler had refused to buy the teens beer. After the beating, the teens stole a 24-ounce can of beer from Muffler.





Authorities say Muffler suffered broken ribs that penetrated a lung.





A sentencing date hasn't been scheduled.
