No. 2 top story of 2012: Sheley guilty
MORRISON – For the second time in more than a year, Nicholas T. Sheley of Sterling heard the word that sealed his fate: Guilty.
On Nov. 6, a Whiteside County jury found the 33-year-old guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Russell Reed, 93, of rural Sterling.
Prosecutors say Reed is the first of eight people Sheley killed during a weeklong drug- and alcohol-fueled killing spree in late June 2008.
