The 4th and final defendant in the Lake Lowell killing of gay man has been sentenced.
Daniel Henkel of Wilder has been sentenced to at least 4 and up to 20 years in prison for his role in the death of Steven Nelson.
The Idaho Statesman reports Henkle pleaded pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of felony aiding and abetting robbery for his cooperation in prosecuting the two primary suspects who planned and carried out the robbery and murder of Nelson.
A Third District Judge denied a plea deal that would have put Henkel in a prison-based treatment and evaluation program.
Henkel must also serve 3 to 7 years for violating his probation on a separate 2015 drug conviction.
