Comments 0 | Recommend 0

A 44-year-old Coeymans man will serve 19 years in prison for killing his teenage son at their home earlier this year, Albany County District Attorney David Soares announced today.

Glenn Vosburgh pleaded guilty to felony first-degree manslaughter as part of a plea bargain. He admitted he was heavily intoxicated inside their home when he shot his 18-year-old son Craig in the back with a loaded Luger, 9-mm semi-automatic pistol at their Route 9W home on March 16th, according to Soares. 

 

   COEYMANS, N.Y. (AP) -- An Albany area man admits he shot and
killed his teenage son while heavily intoxicated inside their home.
   Glenn Vosburgh pleaded guilty Wednesday to first-degree
manslaughter for the March 16th death of 18-year-old Craig
Vosburgh.
   Police found the teen's body at Vosburgh's home in Coeymans
(KWEE-muhnz), about 13 miles south of Albany. Craig Vosburgh had
been staying with his father, but primarily lived with his mother
and stepfather. Friends and family have said the father and son had
a tumultuous relationship, but Craig stayed with his father to help
him.
   Vosburgh faces up to 19 years in state prison when he's

sentenced in October.
