LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Nevada judge is set to hear from prosecutors and defense lawyers ahead of trial scheduled next month for two co-defendants in the shooting death of a Las Vegas mother of four.
The courtroom meeting on Thursday involves attorneys for the accused shooter, 20-year-old Erich Milton Nowsch Jr., and 27-year-old co-defendant Derrick Andrews.
It comes after Clark County District Court Judge Michael Villani ruled last month that a jury will be able to hear Nowsch’s recorded statement to police.
Nowsch and Andrews are due for trial Oct. 19 in the Feb. 12 shooting that mortally wounded 44-year-old Tammy Meyers outside her home.
Each has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder, weapon and conspiracy charges that could get each life in prison without parole. Each remains jailed without bail.
