The 62-year-old man accused of kidnapping, raping and killing a Boise State University Honors College student last fall has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.

Bruce A. Marchant, clad in an orange prison jumper, entered a guilty plea Tuesday in a Boise courtroom on one of three counts — first-degree murder.

In exchange for his guilty plea to the premeditated murder charge, prosecutors agreed to drop the rape and kidnapping counts. As part of the plea bargain, Marchant waived his right to an appeal.

Bart Green, Bush’s stepfather, told the Statesman that the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office had met with the family and asked for their input. He said they supported the plea deal offered to Marchant.

When Marchant was asked by 4th District Judge Jonathan Medema whether he committed first-degree murder, Marchant replied, “Yes sir, your honor.” He could face life in prison without parole.

Medema, who seemed concerned about the validity of the plea, asked Marchant why he chose to plead guilty. Marchant offered two explanations. First, he said, if the case had gone to trial, “you have no choice but to give the maximum penalty.” (Medema disputed that, telling Marchant that if the state pursued the death penalty, it would be up to a jury to decide.)

After conferring with his attorney, David Smethers, Marchant added, “I want to plead guilty because that’s what happened.”

He said he didn’t want to slow the court down or “cause the family any more grief than what I’ve caused already.”

Marchant will be sentenced at 9 a.m. Dec. 6. Prior to sentencing, he will receive a mental evaluation. Medema cleared half a day for the sentencing hearing, at which Deputy Prosecutor Brian Naugle said several friends and family of Sierra Bush will share impact statements.

I hope he gets life without parole. He deserves it, as do a lot of them, so I hope he gets it.
