LINCOLN — The Nebraska Supreme Court has affirmed the conviction of Erica Jenkins for the robberies of two men who were murdered by her brother.

It marked the second time in the past three weeks the high court has rejected appeals by Jenkins, 26. Last month, the court upheld her conviction and life sentence for the 2013 murder of Curtis Bradford.

In Friday’s ruling, Jenkins challenged the 60 to 100 years in prison she was ordered to serve for the 2013 robberies of Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz. She helped lure the men to Spring Lake Park, where they were shot and killed by her brother, Nikko Jenkins.

Among other issues, Jenkins contended the prosecution should have been prevented from using records tied to her cellphone. Lawyers for Jenkins argued that obtaining the records amounted to an illegal search because Jenkins had an expectation that the records were private. They also asserted investigators failed to establish probable cause before obtaining the records.

The cellphone records showed Jenkins made calls that were routed from cell towers near an apartment of one of the victims as well as the park at the time of the killings.
