Nicholas Heath Gobble, a resident of Lawrence County, received a sentence of 45 years in prison on Friday after being found guilty of attempted second-degree murder. This conviction stemmed from a violent incident that occurred in July 2023, during which Gobble assaulted his 64-year-old mother. According to reports, the altercation began when she requested his assistance with paying a utility bill, a plea that triggered a violent outburst from him.
The consequences of this assault were severe; the victim suffered eight broken ribs, in addition to multiple bruises, lacerations, and a brain bleed. Due to the nature of his conviction, Gobble is mandated to serve the entirety of his sentence without the possibility of parole. This case highlights the tragic outcomes that can arise from domestic disputes and the serious legal repercussions that follow such acts of violence.
