Fidelity Investments Is Dropping $200 Million On A Data Center In Nebraska

Posted on

Fidelity Investments says it has decided to build a $200 million data center in the Omaha suburb of Papillion.

In an announcement Friday, Fidelity’s Steve Scullen says the company “is pleased to be in Nebraska.” Scullen is Fidelity’s president of corporate operations.

He says the Papillion site will provide “the flexibility to build to our specifications in a location that will accommodate our needs now and in the future.”

The company cited the state’s low power rates and central U.S. location as key factors in its decision, as well as the array of financial incentives, including the data center provision contained in the recently amended Nebraska Advantage Act.

Fidelity says it expects to begin construction immediately and have the center running in 2014, employing 30 to 35 people.

Supreme Court Rejects 2nd Appeal Of A Convicted Killer

Posted on

The Nebraska Supreme Court has rejected a convicted killer’s second appeal, saying the man did not prove that a judge acted vindictively in sentencing him to up to 50 years for a weapons count.

Daniel Miller was convicted in the 2008 shooting death of 18-year-old Julius Robinson outside a southwest Omaha apartment complex.

Miller was originally sentenced to life without parole for first-degree murder and another 10 years for a weapons count, but the Nebraska Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year.

Miller subsequently pleaded guilty reduced charges and was sentenced to 20 years for manslaughter and 30 to 50 years on a weapons count.

In his latest appeal, Miller said the harsher sentence for the weapons count was imposed vindictively because of Miller’s success in his first appeal.

Doris Herrin had told doctors the girl fell, but evidence showed the little girl had been hit in the head several times and shaken.
