Mark Becker, 24, accused of shooting Coach Ed Thomas of Parkersburg, has pleaded not guilty in Butler County District Court. He pleaded in writing and also demanded a speedy trial, according to court records, which means it should occur in the next 90 days.
Becker, charged with first-degree murder, remains in the Cerro Gordo County Jail in Mason City under a $1 million bond.
Becker is accused of walking into a weightlifting session on June 24 and shooting Thomas multiple times at close range. He was arrested about 20 minutes later outside his parents’ home north of Parkersburg.
Becker faces life in prison if convicted.
