Accused Double Murderer Pleads No Contest - Monday, April 20, 2009 at 11:29AM EST
POTTSVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY- An accused double murderer changed his plea from not guilty to no contest this morning.
54-year-old Norman Nickle was charged with shooting two teens to death in 2008. Prosecutors say Nickle killed 19-year-old Joshua Yevak of Pottsville and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Cayla Turner of Port Carbon at his North 13th Street home.
He told police he covered the bodies with a sheet in the basement for more than 2-weeks to avoid looking at them while he was doing laundry.
A sentencing hearing is underway. He is expected to be sentenced to life in prison. | |
