correct version Donald Blom's story took another twist in Carlton today when Blom declined to enter a plea to charges of first-degree murder in the death of Katie Poirier. The case is now headed to a jury trial, still several months away. Blom has confessed to killing Poirier, as part of a plea agreement. That agreement collapsed and, so the confession will likely be inadmissable as evidence. Poirier's friends and relatives say the latest series of negotiations has left them bewildered and upset.
