The second Lincoln man accused of killing 35-year-old Phillip Madlock last summer over a drug debt went to court Wednesday to plead not guilty to murder.
Paul A. Clark, 36, and his co-defendant, Dominc Aguirre, 37, who entered the same plea in March, haven't yet been given trial dates.
Both are charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, first- and second-degree assault, and two counts of using a firearm to commit a felony.Ìý
Clark and Aguirre have been in jail since Jan. 12 on charges of conspiracy to bring marijuana to Lincoln from northern California, a case that prosecutors filed before the murder charges. Both men have pleaded not guilty in that case, too.
The Lancaster County Attorney's Office alleges the pair killed Madlock on June 28 over a drug debt. His brother reported him missing on July 10.
