Dylan Cardeilhac Case
Dylan Cardeilhac was sentence to 60 years to life yesterday in Scotts Bluff County for second degree murder.
This case was tried by Assistant Attorneys General, Doug Warner and Kale Burdick.
On December 3, 2013, Dylan Cardeilhac of Torrington, WY, along with an accomplice, committed an armed robbery of the Kwik Stop in Mitchell, Nebraska. Cardeilhac was later arrested and lodged in the Scotts Bluff County Detention Center.
On February 14, 2014, while being held pending trial on the robbery charge, Cardeilhac attacked Corrections Officer Amanda Baker in his cell. He put her in a chokehold and strangled her in an effort to escape from custody. Baker died at the hospital as a result of the attack.
Following a jury trial in November 2014, Cardeilhac was convicted of Second Degree Murder.
Dylan Cardeilhac News
The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld the conviction and lengthy sentence of a 17-year-old who killed a western Nebraska jailer.
Dylan Cardeilhac of Torrington, Wyoming, was 15 when he strangled Scotts Bluff County jailer Amanda Baker in February 2014. He was convicted later that year of second-degree murder and sentenced to 60 years to life in prison.
In his direct appeal, Cardeilhac sought a new trial because jurors participated in a reenactment of the choking of Baker during deliberations. But the high court on Friday said that did not constitute juror misconduct.
The court also dismissed Cardeilhac’s argument that his sentence was excessive.
