Bride accused of killing her new husband by pushing him off a cliff admits second degree murder

Cody Johnson died after his wife told him she was having second thoughts about their eight-day old marriage

Newlyweds: Jordan Graham and Cody Johnson on their wedding day

A new bride accused of pushing her husband off a cliff just days after they got married is to plead guilty to second-degree murder.

Jordan Graham, 22, has been on trial for killing groom Cody Johnson, 25, just eight days after they tied the knot.

Prosecutors claimed Graham was having second thoughts about their marriage, so lured her new husband to a steep cliff in Montana's Glacier National Park, before deliberately pushing him off.

They also claimed she had blindfolded him before he fell on July 7 . His body was found five days later.

But Graham told police her husband had grabbed her by the arm during an argument but she pulled away and shoved him face-first off a cliff to his death.

The defence team closed their case yesterday, without Graham giving her account of what happened on July 7.

Instead, Sky News reports, jurors were shown pictures of Graham getting ready for her wedding, and a video of the couple's first dance as lawyers tried to argue that she did want to marry Mr Johnson.

But she has now agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder.

The judge is still considering whether to accept the plea.
