A Luzerne County man was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison Tuesday after pleading no contest to homicide charges. 32 year old Kevin Novak faced the prospect of life behind bars if convicted at trial in the slaying of his father, 70-year-old Richard Novak, who was gunned down at their home in Nanticoke in 2022. Novak did not address the court prior to the Judge sentencing him to 12-30 years in state prison for the crime.
