Heuermann speaks directly to judge on charges
Judge Timothy Mazzei is now asking Heuermann a series of questions about his readiness to enter a guilty plea and he's answering, “Yes, your honor,” to questions including whether he is satisfied with his legal representation in the case.
"Yes, I am,” Heuermann said when asked by Mazzei if he was entering the plea on his “own free will.”
Heuermann is informed that he could face an enhanced sentence if convicted of another crime in the future.
Heuermann has been uncuffed so he can sign documents.
