Court documents say he will enter the plea on Thursday over the 1 June 2025 attack in Boulder, Colorado, which killed 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured about a dozen others.
Prosecutors say the Egyptian national, in the US illegally, disguised himself as a gardener, threw two Molotov cocktails and had planned for a year to kill pro-Israel demonstrators.
He had first pleaded not guilty and still faces federal hate-crime charges, while prosecutors are weighing the death penalty and his lawyers seek a life sentence through the state plea.

What legal and social factors allowed Soliman to plan his attack for a year without detection, and how can communities better prevent such violence?
