BAREFOOT BANDIT EXPECTED TO MAKE BLANKET PLEA

BAREFOOT bandit, Colton Harris Moore is expected to make a blanket plea agreement to avoid trials in more than a dozen jurisdictions, his attorney has revealed. 
The troublesome 19-year-old who has no formal flight training, pilfered at least five planes and dozens of car and boats as he evaded capture for a string of burglaries over the last two or three years.
Eventually, he flew a light plane from his home in Vancouver Island to the Caribbean, landing in the Bahamas, where a $10,000 FBI reward and a huge law enforcement team caught up with him.
But rather than face separate trials across the country his lawyers are working out a deal for him to plead guilty for everything in one go.
