He sold it after meeting Harris and Klebold at another gun show earlier this year where the two expressed an interest in a similar gun on display. They were introduced through a pizza shop employee who worked with the two students. After the sale, Manes went shooting with Harris and Klebold three times in the mountains west of Denver. Ransome has said Manes had no idea what Harris and Klebold planned to do at the school. The charge carries a penalty of two to six years in prison.
Probation also is a possibility.
Manes has a record of minor juvenile offenses that probably would not bar him from consideration for probation, said prosecutor Mark Pautler. Manes returns to court June 23 for a disposition hearing. If lawyers haven't reached an agreement by then, the case will be set for arraignment and trial. The Daily Camera. All rights reserved.
