Enrique Marquez Jr., 25, entered into a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office on Tuesday, admitting to one count each of providing material support to terrorists and making false statements in the acquisition of firearms.

Marquez will formally acknowledge his crimes during a hearing at 9 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal at the federal courthouse in downtown Riverside.

...

Marquez admitted that he was the actual buyer of the two high-capacity semi-automatic rifles that Farook and Malik armed themselves with. He also said he made plans with Farook to commit mass murder at the library or cafeteria at Riverside City College.

The two men also schemed to go on a killing spree on the eastbound 91 Freeway during afternoon rush-hour, identifying a particular section of the roadway that had no exits, according to the FBI.

"...two high-capacity semi-automatic rifles...

There's his problem. He should have traded out the "high-capacity" magazines for the state approved "low-capacity" magazines and then he would have been free from prosecution.

plea charges and penalty seem meek compared to what he actually did. Probably wont even get sent to Gitmo.

I’ve always wondered if this guy (or the other person [a cousin?] who lived with the murdering couple), were ever investigated for the murder in Palm Springs.

It appeared to be a copy cat murder eerily similar to several other murders in the Great Lakes area.
