Nicholas Sheley Moved Again... Goodbye Pontiac, Hello Stateville.
Katfish....ponders has learned that accused spree killer Nicholas Sheley, 31, was moved up to Stateville Correction Center from the Pontiac facility on April 11, 2011. I haven't heard the reason for the move yet, but would love to hear if any readers know why he was moved. Pontiac and Stateville are both Level 1 Maximum Security Adult Male facilities. Stateville is further than Pontiac from Galesburg, so apparently, the move wasn't made to put him closer to the murder trial that is expected to begin in early Fall. The trial in Galesburg will be Sheley's first murder trial related to the 2008 week-long killing spree he is accused of that left eight dead. He is expected to face at least three more trials after the Knox County case.
In October 2009, Knox County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Mathers sentenced Sheley to seven years in prison for a September conviction on charges resulting from an incident at the Knox County Jail in April 2009 where he was being held on a 10 million dollar bond for murder charges . Sheley was convicted on 3 counts of Aggravated Assault, 1 count of Aggravated Battery and 1 count of Criminal Damage to Government Property. Sheley broke apart a metal chair and threw the legs at peace and correctional officers causing them injury. He also punched one of the officers. Sheley was actually sentenced to three 7 year sentences and a 1 year sentence for the Knox County Jail incident; however; Judge Mathers ruled the sentences will be served concurrently and the DOC determined Sheley is eligible for 50% time...that is why it is listed on DOC records below that his projected parole date is 10/2012.

The Bottom picture is Stateville the top two pictures are not we have nothing that looks like the top two
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input anonymous 7/20 @12:54 am. I will remove the other 2 pics. IIRC, I got all 3 of those pics off the DOC website.....my bad.
ReplyDeleteI saw inmate Sheley in court today....he got his way...again...but then it was NO SURPRISE he changed his mind again. He was in way over his head with his pro se motion,that or maybe it was just too much work. He's fortunate the state didn't contest his request for Jeremy Karlin to represent him again....the judge didn't seem particularly inclined to allow it but for the state's response. In Sheley's letter to the court he said the reason he needed an attorney was because due to lockdown at Stateville he didn't have the opportunity to prepare for trial....:eyes rolling:....we heard in court that was more BS lockdown was only for 2 days and didn't effect his access at any rate.I will write a post about todays hearing in a few days.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up! Any idea when the motion will be heard? Personally, I doubt this motion will prevail, there has been very little coverage this past year. I have been a real slacker about writing (about any case) lately....but I'm still very interested.
Jeremy Karlin is just doing his job (being thorough) with this filing.
