Is that because the murder occurred on the Blue Ridge Parkway (a National Park)?

(Good to see you here Gitana)

Yes. I wonder if federal prison is worse than state. I hope so. But I somehow don't think so.

As someone with a family member who went to Federal prison, I can tell you it's no picnic but, state is way worse.

A Leicester man accused of killing his 6-year-old daughter on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2016 has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.

Seth Willis Pickering, 37, will spend life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the plea agreement entered in federal court Friday morning. Pickering admitted to stabbing his daughter Lila through the heart on Sept. 9, 2016.

Pritchard told the court that Lila's mother and Seth's ex-wife, Ashley Pickering, wanted to be present at the hearing but was unable to come because she lives in Florida. Pritchard said Ashley Pickering plans to attend her ex-husband's sentencing, for which a date hasn't been set.
