Marvin “Tone” Brazzle was told Tuesday by State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski he faces at least a 21-year prison term on his manslaughter plea for asphyxiating his pregnant girlfriend last year.

Brazzle, 43, of Sycamore Street, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and admitted he was intentionally trying to hurt his girlfriend, Angela Williams, 32, of Hughes Avenue. He has been jailed since his arrest a little over a week after the April 18, 2009, death and was facing trial on a second-degree murder charge.

Michael J. Stachowski, attorney for Brazzle, said his client has no recollection of the fatal incident. The judge sent Brazzle back to jail pending his April 7 sentencing.
