California man pleads no contest to lesser charges in Maui murder case

A California man charged with murdering his girlfriend on Maui last year plead no contest to a reduced charge Thursday, according to the Maui County Prosecutor's Office.

Gerald Galaway, Jr. plead no contest to manslaughter and kidnapping in connection with the death of his girlfriend 35-year-old Celestial Cassman.

Each charge carries a maximum 20-year sentence.

Last September, Cassman's body was found after witnesses reported seeing her struggling with a man.

Autopsy results showed she died from asphyxiation.

Last year, Galaway had been hospitalized for injuries he suffered after jumping from a 100-foot cliff at the Nakalele Point area of West Maui, when he was allegedly trying to run away from police.
