Video / NZ Herald 2018A New Zealand man who was shot while allegedly trying to kidnap a 14-year-old US girl he met online has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. But electronic court records show that the jury selection process was terminated last week and a plea agreement hearing in the case has been scheduled for July 29. It was not immediately clear what charges are included in the plea agreement. The details of his plea agreement with prosecutors are expected to be revealed during the July 29 hearing in US District Court in Richmond. He faces the possibility of decades in prison, but it is unclear what kind of sentencing recommendation could be included in the plea agreement.
