Bernie Tiede Back in Panola County

CARTHAGE — An East Texas killer whose case has elicited sympathy has been transferred. Convicted murderer Bernie Tiede, who has spent almost two decades in the state penitentiary for the shooting of wealthy East Texas widow Marjorie Nugent, found himself back in Carthage Wednesday after being served with a bench warrant. Tiede is now being held at the Panola County Detention Center, where District Attorney Danny Buck Davidson gave this statement: “Evidence has recently been discovered that affects punishment considerations.” Tiede’s crime was recently featured in the hit motion picture “Bernie.”
