David Eisenhauer (right), 20, pleaded no contest to the murder of 13-year-old Nicole Lovell in Virginia court today. The plea came on the fourth day of testimony in his trial.
Nicole's mom Tammy Weeks teared up as he made the no contest plea.
Prosecutors told jurors Eisenhauer, then 18 and attending Virginia Tech, killed the 7th grader in 2016 because he was afraid she would expose their relationship.
Lovell went missing after sneaking out of her house the night of January 27, 2016. Her body was found in North Carolina three days later, with 14 stab wounds.
The no contest plea means that Eisenhauer will no longer fight the charges against him, but he is not addmitting guilt. Eisenhauer faces the possibility of life in prison, plus 15 years, when he's sentenced in May.
Meanwhile, Eisenhauer's alleged accomplice, Natalie Keepers, is being charged as an accessory and is awaiting a trial expected to start in September. She is accused of helping him plan the murder and dispose of the body.
