One of the two inmates charged in the killings of two employees at the Anamosa State Prison has pleaded guilty to all charges.

Thomas Woodard, Jr. pleaded guilty this morning to two counts of first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and attempted murder.

He and Michael Dutcher are charged in the deaths of Lorena Schulte and Robert McFarland earlier this year.

Dutcher’s trial date is due to be rescheduled.
