Two men enter pleas in 2008 death in Aiken
AIKEN — Two men have entered pleas in the death of a man found under a bathtub house in South Carolina.
The Aiken Standard reported the men entered Alford pleas to voluntary manslaughter charges in Aiken on Monday in the deaths of 19-year-old Marquez Tyler. An Alford plea does not admit guilty but concedes there is enough evidence for a conviction.
Matthew Lamar Jackson and Tyrone Akeen Gleaton also pleaded to armed robbery charges.
Both were sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Tyler was last seen in November 2008. His body was found in February 2009 under an overturned bathtub near Windsor in Aiken County.
Coroner Tim Carlton said then that Tyler had likely been shot and killed in November

First, my amused confusion is towards the reporting of this story. I said yesterday that making flippant remarks about the death of a policeman were grounds to be taken out and summarily executed and I'm not going to make a hypocrite of myself making fun of THE DEATH OF MR. TYLER,but this news report is absolutely hilarious.
A)What in Holy Name of Jesus is a "Bathtub House"?
B)How many times did Mr. Tyler die?
