Greenberg is charged in the July 17, 2007, death of Patrick Murphy, 17, on the Barrington River.

Judge Procaccini announced that the plea agreement was reached today after several conferences during recent months with attorneys in the case. The judge expects to take the plea in Providence County Superior Court at 11 a.m. on May 18. Greenberg will not be sentenced at that time. Sentencing tentatively has been set for July 22, Judge Procaccini said.
