Man to enter guilty plea

WARREN

Sean Clemens, who admitted to investigators that he killed his neighbor, Jane Larue Brown, April 24, 2017, in her Church Hill-Hubbard Road home in Liberty, will apparently enter a guilty plea this Friday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

It is not known to what charges he will plead guilty.

Clemens, 34, told a detective, “I just ruined my life all over some [expletive] Xanax,” The Vindicator learned in a hearing earlier this year.

Clemens said he took 10 Xanax pills the night before the killing. Larue Brown was 84.

If Clemens goes to trial and is convicted of aggravated murder and certain specifications, he could get the death penalty.

Chris Becker and Diane Barber, assistant county prosecutors, said they cannot comment on the case until after the 9 a.m. hearing in common pleas court.
