The Register-Guard reports (https://is.gd/2PHWb2 ) 42-year-old Joshua Sherman reached a plea agreement with Lane County prosecutors that calls for a 15-year prison sentence. As part of the deal, he agreed to testify against his co-defendants.
The victim, 25-year-old Alexander Davenport, was found suffering from stab wounds near the entrance to Alton Baker Park in May 2016. He died of his injuries at a hospital.
