Prosecutors charged Lathem with first-degree murder in what they say was a vicious premeditated attack on his young lover, Trenton Cornell, in July 2017, saying he and accomplice Andrew Warren ambushed Cornell in Lathem’s apartment and then went on the lam. Warren testified last week that he and Lathem had plans to kill each other in a premeditated death pact, and that Lathem was speaking generally about killing others as well. Lathem began the attack on Cornell, then Warren ultimately joined in, he testified.
