Jailhouse interview with convicted double murderer Steve Nicholson

Steve Lynn Nicholson is a Michigan man convicted of two counts of
homicide and child abuse following the deaths of his two young
children in October 2010. At the time, Nicholson was living in
Allen Park, Michigan, where he had sole custody of his son,
Jonathan, and shared custody of his daughter, Ella. On the night of
October 19, 2010, both children were found dead in his
apartment—Jonathan in the bathtub and Ella on the bathroom floor.
The prosecution argued that Nicholson intentionally drowned both
children, citing evidence of prior abuse and suspicious
circumstances at the crime scene.

Medical experts testified that Jonathan's lungs contained water,
indicating he was deliberately submerged, and that Ella had been
placed face-down after drowning, showing signs of scalding burns.
Nicholson's defense contended that the deaths were accidental.
However, the trial court convicted him of first-degree murder for
Ella's death, second-degree murder for Jonathan's, and first-degree
child abuse. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole for
the murder convictions, plus additional time for child abuse.

In 2012, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld Nicholson's
convictions, affirming that the trial court had properly admitted
evidence of prior abuse and that the verdicts were supported by the
evidence presented. The case highlighted Nicholson's history of
mistreating the children, including reports from neighbors and his
partner about physical abuse and neglect. The court found that the
deaths were not accidental, citing the deliberate staging of the
scene and the children's inability to escape the water. Nicholson
remains incarcerated at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility
in Jackson, Michigan, serving a life sentence without the
possibility of parole.
