Grant Pleads Guilty

"Yes, sir," "No, sir" and "Guilty" was pretty much the extent of conversation from a suspect arrested in connection with the death of a Milford woman earlier this year. Lawrence Grant, 29, of Shipshewana, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Kosciusko Circuit Court to all charges pending against him as a result of the January murder of 48-year-old Kathy Vroman of Milford.Grant's pleas were "straight up," meaning that he entered the guilty pleas without the benefit of a plea agreement.Thus, he will be at the mercy of the court when he is sentenced next month.He faces a total of between three and 14 years in prison and fines up to $30,000.
