Following case mediation, Rucker, 42, entered the plea in Whitley Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon. Rucker faced charges of murder, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon in connection to Conner\u2019s death, as well as charges of attempting to escape from a penitentiary and three counts of kidnapping stemming from an April 2022 incident in which he and another inmate attempted to escape from the Whitley County Detention Center. For more information, including the Rucker&#8217;s recommended prison sentence, see the Feb. 15 edition of the News Journal."}
