OMAHA, Neb. —
A convicted serial killer filed a motion in Douglas County court saying he's intellectually disabled and therefore cannot be put to death.
Now, a judge has set a hearing date for Nikko Jenkins.
Jenkins, now 35, is asking the court to pay for a neuropsychologist to evaluate his cognitive ability.
The request comes months after he penned a letter asking to dismiss his post-conviction appeals and set an execution date .
