A Kanawha County man pleads guilty to a lesser charge in a Cedar Grove murder case.
Ernest Young beat 81-year-old Wilfred Naylor to death with a nightstick at his home in June of 2011.
Young was initially charged with first degree murder and grand larceny, but Wednesday pleaded guilty to second degree murder.
