The men, who have been in custody since they were arrested in April last year, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition.
Justice Courtney Daye has put off sentencing until July 5.
The case had been set for trial yesterday in the Gun Court.
Gray was attacked as she arrived home in Cedar Grove, Portmore, St Catherine, on April 4 last year. She was seven months pregnant at the time.
Director of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn and Crown Counsel Yanique Gardener, in outlining the facts of the case, said White and Gray were involved in an intimate relationship for a year, and during that time, Gray became pregnant. Whyte told her to get an abortion but she refused and Whyte stopped communicating with her for seven months. READ More...
