Jurors heard opening statements Monday in the trial of Nathan Paape (pahp) of Sheboygan.
The defense says Paape had come home from school last September when his friend, Antonio Barbeau, arrived with a hatchet and laid out a plan to murder and rob Barbeau's great-grandmother, 78-year-old Barbara Olson.
Defense attorney Chris Petros says Paape followed his friend into Olson's home and watched as Barbeau attacked Olson with a hatchet.
Sheboygan Press Media (http://shebpr.es/1amJ1gt) reports District Attorney Joe DeCecco told jurors that Paape and Barbeau conspired to and then carried out a plan to rob and kill Olson.
Barbeau pleaded no contest this month to first-degree homicide.
