Tiede was resentenced to life Friday night after being released two years ago. His victim was 81 year Carthage widow Marjorie Nugent. He was a mortician, and they met when her husband died — after which they became inseparable. Her granddaughter, Shanna Nugent, says, “We have to protect the weakest members of our society, and I think widowhood is one of those real weak moments for women and men who lose their life partners.” Prosecutors showed during the resentencing trial that Tiede spent a lot of Nugent’s money after he killed her. She says she hopes the trial will “destroy the myth” created by the 2011 Jack Black movie “Bernie.”
