WARREN, Ohio - The second suspect in an arson that claimed the life of a 16-year-old girl in Warren is expected to appear before a judge on Monday and plead guilty.

Assistant Trumbull County Prosecutor Chris Becker tells 21 News that 30-year-old Brendan Daviduk signed an agreement in which he will plead guilty to charges stemming from the arson that claimed the life of 16-year-old Chassidy Broadstone in 2023.

A hearing has been set for 11:00 a.m. before Judge Sean O'Brien to officialize the deal.

Word of the plea bargain came one day after Daviduk appeared in court to reject the plea deal, which would take the death penalty off the table. Prosecutors were recommending a sentence of 32 years to life in prison with this deal.

This would make Daviduk the second suspect to plead guilty in this case with the first being Zackary Gurd, who entered his guilty plea in December. As a result, the death penalty was taken off the table for him as well.

Gurd has yet to be sentenced.

This would leave only Patricia Zarlingo as the sole remaining suspect,  Zarlingo is scheduled to go on trial on July 23.
