Western NY librarian pleads guilty in death of WWI veteran

A western New York librarian has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of a World War I veteran more than three decades ago.

Erie County District Attorney John Flynn says 51-year-old Saundra Adams, of Buffalo, entered the plea Wednesday in state Supreme Court, just a day into jury selection for her murder trial.

Adams admitted that she and an accomplice broke into a Buffalo home in June 1983 and caused the death of 92-year-old Edmund Schreiber.

The original indictment accused the two of tying up Schreiber and strangling the decorated war veteran with his own neckties.

Adams' plea comes almost a year to the day that she was arrested and charged.
