Rockford man faces life terms for six child murders
Simon Peter Nelson, a 46 year old jobless employment counselor, was convicted by a Rockford jury of stabbing and beating his six children to death in January. Circuit Judge John Ghent set sentencing for June 3 after denying a new trial motion. The jury could not agree on a death sentence, so the judge will determine his punishment, likely multiple life terms. Nelson claimed insanity and said he killed to harm his estranged wife who sought a divorce.
