The Nez Perce County Prosecutor's Office is seeking the death penalty against Nicholas Umphenour, the man accused of killing someone while on the run from an Idaho prison earlier this year.

Nez Perce County prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty for Nicholas Umphenour, the man who helped coordinate an Idaho prison escape and hospital ambush, for the killing of 83-year-old Juliaetta resident James Mauney.

Nicholas Umphenour, the man accused of helping his co-defendant escape from prison will now face the death penalty. Umphenour is accused of helping Skylar Meade escape from jail in Boise while Meade was receiving care at a local hospital.

In March, Skylar Meade, an Idaho man serving a minimum 10-year prison sentence at the state’s maximum security prison, and co-conspirator Nicholas Umphenour led what police called a “brazen” and “violent” attack at the Boise hospital to coordinate Meade’s escape from custody. The incident left three correctional officers injured.
