(Urbana, IL) — Federal prosecutors say they’ve spoken with the suspect in the death of a Chinese-born U of I scholar about a plea deal. But there’s not an agreement yet. The U.S. attorney’s office updated the judge in the case earlier this week about talks with Brendt Christensen’s lawyers. Christensen is facing the death penalty for the kidnapping and death of Ying Ying Zhang last summer at the University of Illinois.
