About a month after he was charged with stabbing Jeffrey Ballor and Kristin Pangman to death at Ballor's Meridian Township home in early 2017, Manuel Pena admitted he was responsible.

Now, as Pena goes to trial in Ingham County Circuit Court, the biggest question left to answer is whether he committed first-degree murder, second-degree murder or something less.

The trial is expected to last about a week.
