That's the maximum sentence the judge could impose on Christopher Shawn
Wheeler, who pled guilty in August to second degree murder and a related
firearms charge.
Wheeler shot and killed deputy Clifford Dicker when Dicker tried to serve
him with arrest papers.

detention center, saying he was a victim of a traumatic childhood and poor
upbringing.
