Kelly Lepler Pleads Guilty to Three Felonies | Omaha News

Kelly Lepler has struck a plea deal in a theft by deception case, pleading no contest to three felony counts after originally facing 43 charges. She allegedly took money from customers for headstones she never delivered. The case stalled for months due to competency proceedings, but once deemed competent, negotiations led to this resolution. Prosecutors warned that trial risked being a long, uncertain process, as proving intent to permanently deprive victims of headstones would have been difficult. Now convicted, Lepler faces up to nine years in prison or 15 years probation, plus full restitution of over $266,000, with sentencing pending.
