GUILTY IN - Newton County, Fem, 30 Mar 2019 - Nicole Bowen

[FrostedGlass]

Where do you "see" any plea agreement on what Tippy Lynn posted? Did I miss something - or did you find some article re his hearing? TIA!

I know that Kirts is in a possible plea deal agreement for Nicole's murder - 45 year sentence.

I think he took the deal, too. Maybe he's going to testify against Kirts?
Here's what was posted earlier:

12/18/19 Update: Mathis is in negotiations for a plea deal. Drinski said Monday that those deals likely would be similar to one accepted by Parker in the fall. Trial on 4/6/20 has been vacated. Next final pretrial hearing on 2/12/20.

Ah - in my own notes! DOH!

Thanks for pointing that out!
