Judge to Decide Leitzel's Fate Monday

Judge to Decide Leitzel's Fate Monday - Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 7:14PM EST

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- A Luzerne County man who admits killing his girlfriend's baby will still stand trial Monday.
26-year-old Alan Leitzel of West Hazleton pled guilty Thursday to an open count of homicide. It stems from the 2007 death of 3-month old Xavier Simmons.

A judge will decide if Leitzel committed first or third-degree murder -- or voluntary or involuntary manslaughter. The plea prevents the death penalty but Leitzel could still serve up to life in prison.

Tiffany Simmons, the baby's mother, is serving at least 25-months in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
