Allen Nicklasson, 30, of Kansas City had sought a new trial on claims his attorneys provided ineffective counsel. The Missouri Supreme Court denied his claims in a unanimous decision May 27. Nicklasson was one of three people convicted for the Aug. 24, 1994, execution-style killing of Richard Drummond, who provided a ride to the trio after noticing their broken-down vehicle on the side of the highway. Nicklasson was accused by authorities of being the triggerman. Dennis Skillicorn, 43, of Kansas City also is on death row after being convicted of first-degree murder in Drummond's death. Timothy DeGraffenreid of Blue Springs, who was 18 at the time of the murder, received a life prison sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. He led authorities to Drummond's body in a Lafayette County field. The state Supreme Court rejected Nicklasson's standard appeal in 1998. |
