Scott Pierce was shot to death in his home in front of his wife, six days after the couple got married

Jason Skaggs and Clifton Bloomfield were looking for someone else in June 2008 when Bloomfield broke into the couple's home and shot Pierce in the neck, according to a criminal complaint. The intended victim was a man who had allegedly slept with Skaggs' wife and beaten up Skaggs when he attempted to retaliate. The man had lived in the house on Hannett NE until a few months before the Pierce's moved in.

Skaggs appeared before District Court Judge Ross Sanchez in July and entered guilty pleas to second degree murder, aggravated burglary with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary with a deadly weapon and criminal solicitation to commit murder.

He was sentenced today.

Bloomfield also pleaded guilty to killing four others and has been sentenced to 195 years in prison.
