Woman Sentenced For Role In Nebraska Slaying Of Colorado Man
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) - A 32-year-old woman has been sentenced for her role in the western Nebraska slaying of a Colorado man.
On Monday in a Lincoln County courtroom, Maybelle Collins was given 364 days in jail and credited for 208 days she's already served. Last month she pleaded no contest and was convicted of false reporting. Authorities say Collins was present during the attack but lied to officers when she was arrested.
Two men have been charged with killing 43-year-old Lonnie Sanchez, of Hoehne, Colorado. His body was found last September near a transient camp along the South Platte River near the city of North Platte.
Thirty-one-year-old Randy Nevsimal and 46-year-old David Saxton have pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder.
