Thirty-one-year-old David Rapoport of Upper Gwynedd Township pleaded guilty Thursday in Lehigh County Court to two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 27-year-old Jennifer Snyder and their unborn baby.
Snyder's body was found in March in a ravine in Trexler Nature Preserve near Allentown.
Prosecutors say the married Rapoport was furious over Snyder's pregnancy and shot her three times - once in the back and twice in the head. She was in her first trimester and expecting a boy.
Rapoport was sentenced to two terms of life in prison. His guilty plea allowed him to avoid the death penalty, which the district attorney had planned to seek.
