A 19-year-old facing manslaughter charges after fatally stabbing a man during an confrontation in December 2015 is set to change his plea in Juneau Superior Court today.
Kevin Scott Nauska, 19, was arrested Dec. 6., 2015, after reportedly killing 37-year-old Jordon Sharclane and injuring his son, Michael Sharclane, 19.
Nauska maintained he used a knife to protect himself after the Sharclanes came to his home in the middle of the night to confront him about stolen electronics.
After hearing conflicting evidence from multiple witnesses, a Juneau grand jury chose not to indict Nauska on murder charges. He subsequently pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, a class A felony that can carry up to 20 years in prison.
Court documents online show that Nauska is set to appear in court this morning for a change of plea hearing. The Office of Public Advocacy declined to comment Thursday.
