SIDNEY – A 46-year-old man convicted of murdering a mentally-challenged carnival worker in Potter on Aug. 29, 1994, is up for parole next week after serving nearly 16 years of his sentence. Charles Talley will go before the parole board on Aug. 26 for his first parole hearing since his sentencing on Dec. 13, 1995. Talley was credited with serving 454 days at the time of his sentencing, and has served the remainder of the past 15 years in the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln. In April 2009, he was hospitalized following an inmate attack. In 1994, Talley was charged in Cheyenne County courts with second-degree murder, use of a knife to commit a felony and harming a vulnerable adult after stabbing a carnival worker in Potter. The victim, Davis Keller, presumably of Fairbury, died as a result of the wounds. The Sidney Telegraph reported at the time of Talley’s sentencing the defense argued that Talley, an honorably discharged ex-Marine, had been drinking prior to his confrontation with Keller about the way the carnival worker was treating children on the rides. According to Talley’s case files, Keller had been previously charged in Fairbury in October of 1987 with the sexual assault of a child for an incident involving sexual contact with his (Keller’s) niece.
