'''Nicholas Godejohn''' was prosecuted separately for the killing of Dee Dee Blanchard. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder in November 2018. On 22 February 2019, he was sentenced to life without parole, with a concurrent 25-year sentence for armed criminal action.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ky3.com/content/news/Sentencing-506216361.html|title=Godejohn sentencing report|website=KY3|date=2019-02-22|access-date=2026-11-01}}</ref><br />

== The trial ==<br />
Missourinet’s report from the trial described Gypsy’s testimony about planning the killing. The defence presented evidence concerning diminished capacity, while the prosecution’s rebuttal expert addressed his capacity to contemplate the crime.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.missourinet.com/2018/11/16/gypsy-blanchard-testifies-both-sides-try-to-establish-killers-mental-capacity-in-godejohn-murder-trial/|title=Reporting from the Godejohn trial|website=Missourinet / KOLR-TV|date=2018-11-16|access-date=2026-11-01}}</ref><br />

== Later proceedings ==<br />
KY3 reported in March 2023 that a Greene County judge had denied a motion seeking a new trial.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ky3.com/2023/03/02/greene-county-judge-denies-nicholas-godejohns-motion-new-trial/|title=Report on the denial of a new-trial motion|website=KY3|date=2023-03-02|access-date=2026-11-01}}</ref> A separate federal habeas corpus proceeding, ''Godejohn v. Vandergriff'', was filed in the Western District of Missouri on 10 March 2025, under case number 6:2025cv03068.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dockets.justia.com/docket/missouri/mowdce/6:2025cv03068/182557|title=Godejohn v.

The linked public docket snapshot says it was last retrieved on 31 July 2025. Its entries document filings and procedural orders through that date; they do not establish the case’s current outcome.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dockets.justia.com/docket/missouri/mowdce/6:2025cv03068/182557|title=Godejohn v.

== Distinction from Gypsy’s case ==<br />
Gypsy’s [[Gypsy Rose Blanchard/case/2016-guilty-plea|2016 plea]] and Godejohn’s jury conviction are separate parts of the case. Descriptions of either proceeding should preserve the defendant, charge, date, and source rather than combine them into one verdict.<br />
