Aaron Boogaard Pleads to Misdemeanor in Brother Derek's Death

USA Today reports that Aaron Boogaard pleaded guilty yesterday to a gross misdemeanor in his brother Derek's overdose death, admitting to what his attorney called "an error of judgment" in destroying evidence in the case.

Boogaard reached a plea deal in Hennepin County that lets him walk free with a stayed six-month sentence, plus probation and community service.

Boogaard was charged with interfering with the scene of a death after admitting he flushed pills down the toilet after finding his brother dead in his Minneapolis apartment May 13. A felony charge against Boogaard for supplying a painkiller that contributed to his brother's death was dismissed last week.

...i'm sure the Boogaard family is happy to have this over with, so they can continue with the greiving process.
