On Sept. 6, 2022, Capek, a mother of four, was found dead in her own home on West 78th Street.
Nettles had attacked Capek with broken glass, and when she was found in her bedroom, she had several to her face and head. The cause of her death was sharp and blunt force injuries.
Police said Nettles was high on PCP at the time of the attack.
Nettles will be sentenced on Jan. 30 and is ordered to have no contact with Capek's family, the Court of Common Pleas said.
Capek's stepmother, Pam Sidelka, sat through the trial. She told News 5 Saturday night it was a tough week, especially after seeing the autopsy photos. She said nobody deserves to die that way. Sidelka said Nettles showed no emotion.
