A plea deal is in the works for Billy Lane, the celebrity motorcycle builder charged with killing a Melbourne Beach motorcyclist while driving drunk in 2006, attorneys said.

“I can’t talk about the details right now because we have a couple minor details that are up in the air,” defense attorney Greg Eisenmenger said Thursday during an interview with FLORIDA TODAY.

He said he hopes to receive confirmation on those details from the state today or tomorrow, and anticipates Lane to enter the plea next week.

“We’re in agreement on all the major points,” said Eisenmenger. “We’re 99 percent there but we’re not 100 percent there. We’re close enough that the court felt it was appropriate to take it off the trial docket and we’re close enough that we’re confident we’ll get to a plea.”

The announcement comes days before Lane’s scheduled Feb. 9 trial.







This just in: Gerald Morelock is still dead.
