TOLEDO, Ohio — One of two brothers who admitted stalking, raping and killing young women during a string of eight murders in the 1980s is close to walking out of prison.
Nathaniel Cook confessed to three murders in all with his older brother, the ringleader who’s serving two life sentences, but he has a good chance of being freed after serving 20 years.
The victims’ families and prosecutors agreed to a plea deal nearly two decades ago that called for Nathaniel Cook’s eventual release this year in exchange for the brothers’ confessions. It’s now in a judge’s hands to decide whether to uphold the agreement.
For the families, the confessions gave them answers they long sought, but now they’re hoping there’s some way to block his release.

Black serial murderers, white victims.
What do the #Me-Tooers have to say about this?
Had one of my loved ones been one of the victims....
I don’t want to say what I would do, as I don’t want to get banned from FR.
Plea deals.
Giving lawyers, judges and the system a bad name.
What, no black victims?
The article doesn’t name the judge in charge, too bad...
Hey, they were killed for their White Privilege - you got a problem with that, Bitter Clinger?
Don’t let him out.
They like to kill.
“For the families, the confessions gave them answers they long sought, but now they’re hoping there’s some way to block his release.”
I would think some family men would be advocating for their early release. I know I sure would.
What would the already clogged court system be like without plea bargains?
What would happen to plea bargaining if the state began reneging on the deals?
Heh. Good point.
I wish the headlines would show up when an article is about to be posted and you preview it.
I crossed paths with a serial killer.
His name was Wayne Nance.
He did his killing in Missoula, Montana.
He killed for years.
The Missoula police had him and let him go.
He kept on killing.
They like to kill.
Wayne was in the process of murdering two more people when one of them survived his knife attack and put a bullet in him.
That was the end of Wayne.
His last attack will give you nightmares if you read about it.
They like to kill.
We're doomed.
The Torah is plain on this issue: those who murder must die. They should be killed, dead. We must remember that murder has two sides: Heads - You kill the victim.; Tails -You are still alive and you live on to gloat over it. Kill the wanton murderers and cleanse the Land.
