Ellie Nesler Pleads Guilty to Drug Charges
From Times Wire Reports
A woman who caused a sensation in a courtroom nine years ago when she shot and killed a man accused of molesting her son has pleaded guilty to drug charges.
Ellie Nesler, 49, faces a six-year prison term, more than she served for the 1993 courtroom slaying.
Nesler allegedly gave 0.06 grams of methamphetamine to an informant Oct. 3, then bought 10,000 tablets from him five days later.
