CHEROKEE COUNTY, Texas — An East Texas man found guilty of murder Tuesday was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
Noal Price, 56, was arrested on a murder charge in connection with the death of 42-year-old Samuel Muller in 2023. Muller was found dead in a home on Mitchell St., near the Wells Baseball Field, on May 8, 2023.
This was Price’s second trial after jurors in his first trial could not come to a unanimous verdict. This led to a hung jury and the judge declaring a mistrial in August.
