In January, 2014, more than two years later (!), and after initially listing four aggravating factors for seeking the death penalty, Shelby County Prosecutor Jennifer Nichols did a flip-flop and allowed Haydel to plead guilty to two charges of first-degree murder in order to avoid the death penalty. Haydel is serving two life sentences without parole [in theory] at the Tennessee Department of Correction.
A month later, Prosecutor Nichols was promoted to Deptuy District Attorney.
I expected something like that.
