Dublin man gets 6 years for robbery where repo man was killed
Briefly

Marco Dragula, age 24, has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading no contest to robbery, leading to the dismissal of a murder charge in connection with the death of Tim Nielsen. The case involved his co-defendant, Aaron Hein, who testified that he and Dragula were friends and that the shooting may have been accidental. However, issues regarding Hein's credibility and moral character were raised by Dragula's defense, complicating the narrative surrounding the events of the fatal robbery that took place in June 2021.
Hein testified that he and Dragula were best friends at the time and that Hein had stolen his dad's Lincoln Navigator to sleep in and avoid homelessness.
Dragula's co-defendant, Aaron Hein, pleaded guilty to robbery in 2022 and was subsequently released from jail, indicating a stark contrast in their legal fates.
