Update: Plea bargain reached in East Texas triple murder

By: Nikki Henderson

Updated: January 11, 2013

Bowie County teenager Rachel Pittman makes a plea deal to avoid trial.

Pittman, 18, will get two life sentences and the possibility of parole after 30 years. The plea bargain was reached during Friday's court hearing.

Pittman was set to face trial for capital murder next week in a Rusk County courtroom.

Pittman is accused in the May 2011 stabbing deaths of Amanda Doss, 34, and her children, Texas Johnson, 8, and Guinevere Doss, 11. She's also accused of setting their Redwater home on fire to destroy the evidence.
