MAYVILLE, New York (AP) -- A former fugitive whose dramatic capture ended the largest manhunt in New York state history pleaded guilty Wednesday to shooting three state troopers, one of whom died.

Ralph "Bucky" Phillips pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in the killing of Joseph Longobardo and the attempted aggravated murder of Donald Baker Jr. as the troopers staked out a home while searching for him August 31.

Asked by a Chautauqua County judge if he knew the rifle he used to shoot Longobardo and Baker was capable of killing, he said: "Indeed I did."

He had appeared upbeat as he entered the courtroom in Mayville, waving to relatives and mugging for cameras.

The pleas in Chautauqua County came hours after the 44-year-old career criminal pleaded guilty in Chemung County to the attempted murder of Sean Brown, who was shot during a traffic stop near Elmira on June 10

Well if he admits guilt then he should be put to death. No question of innocence here, which is the basis of my opposition to the death penalty.

How about death by shooting with a high-powered rifle? Just like what he did. Put me in the lineup with my .30-06 along with 4 other guys. 3 live rounds and 2 blanks so that no one has to live with it. Give me the 3 live rounds, the guy to the left and right of me a blank and tell the other two guys to go have a smoke. Then let's do it.

When the judge asked if we was gulity, he replied "Yeah, Gulity as hell" with a smile on this face. He was smiling the entire time in the courtroom, it was all on the news tonight. I'm surprised they allowed cameras in there but they did.

So are you guys for the American Justice system, or the Ol' "Eye for an Eye"? Hard to tell now. Summer has ended, take off your flip-flops. If Bucky were to be executed by firing squad, Lee Boyd Malvo should stand in front of the bullets fired first, with John Muhammed in front of him. Don't hear too many bitching about a serial sniper, just an escapee who made himself famous, and now you're pissed.
