James Gabriel "Gabe" McDonald of Odessa is charged as an adult. Attorney Justin Low said Wednesday that 17-year-old suspect will plead not guilty.
An affidavit says Gregory and Jana McDonald were killed as they slept March 2 at the family's home. Gabe McDonald was arrested hours later. He was indicted on Monday.
