Lawrence man pleads no contest
White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the case on Sept. 26
A Lawrence man, originally indicted on second-degree murder charges, pleaded no contest Friday in Douglas County District Court to aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter.
Tolbert pleaded no contest to aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter and one count of aggravated battery. Several witnesses testified during White's trial that they had seen Tolbert shoot Gensler.
Frank Diehl, Douglas County assistant district attorney, said Tobert's plea was the result of a plea bargain in which one count of making a terrorist threat, one count of criminal damage to property and one count of resisting arrest were dropped.
The sentence for aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter ranges from three to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. The sentence for aggravated battery ranges from six months to three years in the Douglas County jail.
