He has entered a resounding plea of not guilty.

On Monday, Mr. Maples is going to enter a plea of not guilty to all counts. I think it's really a weak attempt to try and pull Mr. Maples into being involved in some type of criminal activity.

Obviously, I thought it was in his best interest not to have a hearing today.

This man's life has been turned upside down in the way Bristol Township has treated him. Bristol Township has used Steve McClain like a $2 whore.

I'm absolutely, l00 percent, not guilty.

This guilty plea was accepted only after reviewing it thoroughly with my staff, the arresting and investigating officers and the victim's family. We all believe that, considering all of the circumstances, it was in the best interest of the Commonwealth and the victim's family to accept this guilty plea and to waive the death penalty.
