Ellie Nesler shot and killed her 6-year-old son's rapist in a courtroom in 1993. She was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, but her 10-year sentence was later overturned because of jury misconduct. She cut a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to manslaughter and get out after serving three years because she had breast cancer. In 2002, Nesler was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to selling and possessing methamphetamine. She was released from a women's facility in 2006.

The son who had been abused was convicted of first-degree murder in 2005 for stomping to death a man hired to clean the family's property in Sonora. The 23-year-old said he believed the man was letting people pick through the family's belongings. He killed the man less than an hour after he was released from a 30-day sentence for an earlier assault on the same man. He is serving a 25-year-to-life sentence. Prison officials allowed William Nesler to speak with his mother on the phone on Christmas when she was hospitalized. He has asked for a temporary leave to attend the funeral and the request is being reviewed by prison officials.
