Chelsi Griffin
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) _ A Virginia woman has pleaded to accessory charges in the deaths of a North Carolina couple last year in Myrtle Beach. Media outlets reported that 20-year-old Chelsi Griffin of Roanoke, Virginia, entered an Alford plea in court in Conway on Wednesday. Griffin is a 2013 graduate of Hidden Valley High School. An Alford plea does not admit guilt, but concedes there’s enough evidence for a conviction. Griffin and 23-year-old Alexander Turner were charged with murder in the deaths of his parents last March. Turner pleaded guilty in October. Fifty-two-year-old Carrie Daley Turner and 61-year-old Steven Gray Turner of Durham, North Carolina, were found shot to death in a hotel. Griffin was sentenced to up to five years in prison under the Youthful Offender Act. She could have her record cleared after five years. Prosecutors say Griffin helped hide the bodies.
