Changing Their Tune: The rap music of the Houston-based Geto Boys did not “hypnotize” five stoned and inebriated teen-agers or influence them to randomly shoot and kill a 26-year-old bystander on April 16 in Dodge City, Kan., defense attorneys for those charged with the crime now say. The teens have changed their original plea of “not guilty by reason of insanity” and have pleaded guilty after acknowledging that they weren’t even sure which rap group’s music they heard on the night of the murder.
