A Pulaski County judge has sentenced a teen to 10 years in prison for plotting to have his parents killed.
The Commonwealth Journal reports the judge handed down Tyler Phelps’ sentence Thursday. The 18-year-old entered an Alford plea last month to one count of criminal solicitation to commit murder. An Alford Plea doesn’t admit guilt, but acknowledges that there is enough evidence to convict.

Police say Phelps asked Paul Young, 18, to kill his parents back in January. Young broke into the Phelps’ home and tried to kill Edwin and Laura Phelps. They survived the attack.
Young earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
