Colton Harris-Moore, the teen whom authorities have dubbed the “Barefoot Bandit,” will be singing a different tune when he enters a Seattle courtroom Friday. He will be changing his plea to “guilty!”
Harris-Moore had previously entered a not guilty plea during a federal court appearance June 9.
At the time, a lawyer representing him said attorneys were working on the details of a plea agreement.
Prosecutors were not keen on the boy being allowed to tell his story via a book and/or movie deal, even though the money raised was apparently to go to compensate the victims of the teen’s crimes.
Harris-Moore gained notoriety and earned his nickname for allegedly leading police on a two-year manhunt while eluding capture in stolen boats, cars and planes – usually while barefoot. He was finally caught in The Bahamas, only a few days after he allegedly crash-landed there in a stolen plane.
