An Ashe County judge awarded a murdered man’s family $14.9 million after pleading guilty to his nephew’s death in 2010. Freddie Hammer had lived with the guilt for two years before confessing. The timing of his confession resulted in him receiving a $15,000 reward that had recently been announced for anyone knowing where his 41-year-old nephew was. An attorney, also a friend, worked pro bono with the family to get the reward money back. Their efforts were not in vain as they were able to take the reward back. The murderer attempted to manipulate the law in only giving a confession if the death penalty would not be an option. The killer was sentenced to life without parole along with the seven other life sentences which he had already been serving for 3 murders he committed in 2008.
