Frank James, the accused Brooklyn subway shooter who injured 29 people on an N Train in April, will plead guilty, according to a letter filed by his attorneys on Wednesday.
, 63, faces up to 11 life sentences for the April 12 attack in Sunset Park in which he allegedly unleashed two smoke grenades and fired a handgun dozens of times, hitting 10 people directly. He subsequently fled the scene and was only captured after a citywide manhunt.
James faces charges ranging from terrorism to acts of violence against a mass transportation system. “Mr. James has advised undersigned counsel that he wishes to schedule a guilty plea to the superseding indictment,” his attorneys wrote in a two-sentence letter, reversing course on James’ original not guilty plea. “If the Court is available, we wish to proceed during the first week of January 2023,” the letter said.
