About this Article

A judge denies a move by Gareng Deng, a 20-year-old from Aurora, to withdraw his guilty plea for an October 2005 murder of Marilyn Bethell, a Hoffman Estates substance abuse counselor. Deng claimed he didn't know he'd have to serve 100 percent of his 35-year sentence and that his attorney provided inadequate representation.
