After being indicted in connection with a double-murder, Kendall Spikes entered a guilty plea to his role in the events that resulted in the deaths of Stanley Bussell and Candace Marcel.
Speaking with local media Friday afternoon, special prosecutor Blake Chambers detailed the agreement—Kendall Spikes entered a guilty plea to the charges of complicity to tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution or apprehension in the first-degree. It comes with a ten-year-sentence, but the Commonwealth is recommending probation.
Final sentencing is set for June 16, with a review date set for April, to see how Kendall Spikes will behave while out on an ankle monitor.
He had originally also been charged with complicity to murder and complicity to kidnapping, but those charges were dismissed without prejudice. However, part of the conditions for this plea is that Kendall Spikes must testify truthfully at the trial of his father, Bobby Spikes.
Bobby Spikes is charged with murder in the deaths of Bussell and Marcel, who was found deceased in a vehicle in Trigg County, which lead to the search and ultimately discovery of Bussell on Clearman Court in 2021. Along with two counts of murder, Bobby Spikes is charged with two counts of robbery in the first degree, kidnapping, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Trial for Bobby Spikes is currently set to happen in June.
