James Brenner, the man accused of murdering 19-year-old Dylan Rounds, has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree felony murder as part of a plea deal. The plea deal, disclosed by the Box Elder County Attorney, required Brenner to reveal the location of Rounds' remains before the court date. Rounds' skeletal remains were found a month ago, and Brenner admitted to shooting Rounds in the head. The 61-year-old Brenner was initially charged with first-degree felony aggravated murder but received a reduction in charges in exchange for his cooperation. The guilty plea was entered on May 16.
