Placidi entered a not guilty plea on Welch s behalf at the arraignment.
Welch is facing trial on charges including first- and second-degree murder in the shooting death of Nadolny on March 23, prosecutors stated in court on Monday. Mead tentatively scheduled Welch s trial for Oct. 12.
The same tentative trial date was given to 20-year-old Erie resident Lexus M. Conner, who was also charged by Millcreek Township police in Nadolny s death. She faces a general count of criminal homicide and other charges.
First-degree murder is a premeditated killing. Second-degree murder is a killing committed during a robbery or other felony. Convictions for both carry a life sentence with no parole.
