SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ Prosecutors have not decided if they
will seek the death penalty for an inmate charged with supplying
the materials used in the April killing of a state penitentiary
guard.
Judge Bradley Zell had set a Wednesday deadline for prosecutors
to file notice if they decided to seek the death penalty for
47-year-old Michael Nordman.
But Attorney General Marty Jackley said on Tuesday that lawyers
on both sides are still in discussions and the matter has been
continued. He says there is no time frame for when a decision will
be made.
Prosecutors allege Nordman supplied a metal pipe and plastic
wrap used by Eric Robert and Rodney Berget to kill Ronald Johnson.
Robert was sentenced to death last month. Berget will be sentenced
in January.
