Kevin L. Martin pleaded guilty last year in Baltimore County court to second-degree murder, telling police, and not denying in court, that he stomped on his neighbor?s head in a 10-minute fight that led to the man?s death.

Martin was asked standard questions for a guilty plea to ensure he understood what rights he was giving up and that he was doing so freely and voluntarily. Then he was sentenced to the maximum 30 years in prison.
