A three-judge panel will determine if convicted murderer Bailey Boswell will serve a life sentence or become the first woman sentenced to death in Nebraska history.
Bailey Boswell will not be the first woman in Nebraska to receive a death sentence. A three-judge panel sentenced her to life in prison without parole for the 2017 murder and dismemberment of Lincoln woman Sydney Loofe.
"The defendant doesn't get rewarded for bad behavior," said James D. Smith, senior assistant Nebraska attorney general.
Assistant Nebraska Attorney General Stacy Foust asked the Supreme Court to affirm Boswell's conviction, saying: "Boswell did not get to sanitize her crimes by picking the state's evidence for it."
The woman is accused of helping Aubrey Trail in a murder-for-hire scheme to extort money from a nurse who smuggled contraband into the prison for him, including a cell phone.
