An inmate at Wise County’s Red Onion Supermax State Prison, serving a life sentence for murder in 2007, has been given an additional six years on top of that after being convicted of sending threatening letters to a pair of judges. 41 year old Mitchell Norbert Nicholas was convicted of murder in 2007.

Nicholas was convicted on the latest charge following a two day trial in August of 2019.
