SALINA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has denied a man’s efforts to withdraw a plea in the killing of a Salina girl.

Saline County District Judge Rene Young on Wednesday denied the motion from 18-year-old Andrew Woodring to withdraw his no contest plea to felony murder in the May 2015 death of 17-year-old Allie Saum.

The Salina Journal reports Woodring testified at a July hearing that he felt pressured to enter the plea and he doesn’t think he should get a life sentence because he did not fire the shot that killed Saum.

Woodring was one on five people charged in Saum’s death. She was a passenger in a truck that police say some of the defendants mistakenly believed belonged to a person who had been in an earlier altercation with them.
