Ex-NASA big guilty in slay
Conor Skelding
A Virginia jury last week convicted a former NASA executive of first-degree murder in the March 2020 shooting of his next-door neighbor.
Prosecutors argued that Michael Hetle, 54, also a former cop, was driven to murder after the homeowners association didn’t act on his complaints of noise, drinking, and other annoyances from his Springfield neighbor, Javon Prather, 24.
Hetle said he acted in self-defense, and added that Prather had threatened him numerous times, once with a knife. Hetle faces life imprisonment at his Jan. 28 sentencing.
