Twice-convicted killer Nicholas T. Sheley will be sentenced today in the bludgeoning death of Russell Reed, 93.
A Whiteside County jury deliberated more than 2 hours Nov. 6 and found the 33-year-old Sterling man guilty of first-degree murder, home invasion and residential burglary after a weeklong trial.
