A Corpus Christi man who killed his wheelchair-bound mother has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Leslie Nelson, 75, was found guilty yesterday of killing his mother, 94-year-old Vivian Nelson, in their home on High Arch Court on August 13.
Nelson pleaded not guilty to the murder in November.
During the trial, Nelson told jurors that his mother, several times, stated that she wished she could die and that she had lived long enough. When the prosecutor asked if he shot his mother, Nelson said "I believe so but I do not remember". When asked if he shot her in the back of the head, he said he didn't remember.
Nelson has been remanded to the Nueces County Jail until he can be transferred to a Texas state prison.
