NACOGDOCHES — A man has pleaded guilty to murdering a former SFA football player, accepting a 50-year prison sentence Monday. A grand jury had previously charged Nickevette Carey, 20, with capital murder in the death of Michael Motte, 24. Carey pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of murder. He will be eligible for parole in 25 years. According to the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel online, Carey was accused of shooting Motte during a robbery in June of 2009. Jury selection was scheduled to begin for Carey’s capital murder trial Monday before Carey took the plea deal. As a condition of the plea agreement, Carey cannot appeal the case.
