SALT LAKE CITY — Breaking his silence in the case, a 58-year-old man has confessed to the 1974 murder of a fellow Brigham Young University student.
Gerald Hicker claimed Friday that he fatally shot 21-year-old Barbara Rocky in Big Cottonwood Canyon because he was upset after she rejected his sexual advances and he feared she might shoot him first.
Hicker was sentenced Friday to up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of second- degree felony manslaughter.
