Man shot neighbour for mowing lawn too often
A New York man has pleaded guilty to shooting a neighbour because he mowed his lawn too often.
Kevin French shot his neighbour in the head with an air rifle, as the man drove his riding mower in Elmira.
Prosecutors said the two men had a strained relationship for months before the shooting last October.
French's guilty plea came on the second day of jury selection for his trial on a charge of attempted murder.
In exchange, French will be sentenced to up to five years in prison. He had faced up to 25 years for the original charge.
