MOM JAILED FOR KILLING SON'S ALLEGED MOLESTER

A woman who fatally shot her young son's alleged molester in a courtroom was sentenced to 10 years in prison Friday by a judge who rejected pleas for clemency because the woman has cancer.

Superior Court Judge William Polley sentenced Ellie Nesler to six years for voluntary manslaughter and an additional four years for using a gun to commit the crime.

"This crime was in fact an execution," said Polley, who also denied Nesler's request for bail.
