Inmate testifies against cellmate in Omaha murder trial 

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – An Omaha jail inmate has once again testified in a murder trial, alleging he heard his cellmate confess about his involvement in the crime.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that Marvin Stockdale told a jury this week that he heard Jason Devers make admissions about his involvement in the 2018 shooting death of Army Sgt. Kyle LeFlore.

LeFlore’s attorneys have pointed to another man as a potential suspect.

It’s the second time Stockdale has testified about hearing a murder defendant make a confession. He testified three weeks ago that Michael Benson told him he’d killed a truck driver during a road-rage dispute. Benson was then convicted of second-degree murder.

Stockdale says he’s not expecting to receive a sentence reduction in his own felony case of gun possession and making terrorist threats.
