Overview
- Nikita Casap, 18, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
- Prosecutors dropped seven additional state charges under the agreement, including hiding a corpse and theft, and each homicide count carries a mandatory life sentence.
- Sentencing is set for March 5 before Judge Ralph Ramirez, who could set parole eligibility after 20 years on each count under Wisconsin law.
- District Attorney Lesli Boese said she will ask the court to deny any parole eligibility, calling Casap a danger to the community.
- Investigators say the killings occurred around Feb. 11, he fled with cash, passports and a gun before a Feb. 28 arrest in Kansas, and federal filings describe uncharged allegations of a manifesto, a drone and explosives, and messages about moving to Ukraine as part of a plan to assassinate President Trump.
