A Philadelphia man will spend the rest of his life behind bars after prosecutors say he admitted to carrying out six murders as a hitman, four of which were at the bidding of a drug trafficker.
Ernest Pressley, 42, was arrested in September 2018 after local and federal authorities connected him to the murder of a victim identified as "S.S." According to investigators, the man was found shot to death in the parking lot of a Philadelphia apartment complex near the 7400 block of Malvern Avenue days before the arrest.
"By his own admission, Ernest Pressley is an incredibly dangerous individual with no qualms about accepting money to calculatedly and cold-bloodedly murder anyone," said U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero. During a Wednesday court hearing, Pressley admitted that the four murders were at the bidding of a Philadelphia drug trafficker. Pressley’s conviction by way of his guilty plea carries a mandatory life sentence in prison.
