A Norgaard plea is typically used when a defendant claims not to remember committing the crime.
Gamble, 38, was found dead in her apartment in August 2024. An autopsy showed she had been strangled.
Investigators say that Neal and Gamble met at a bar and went to Gamble’s apartment, where Neal strangled her. He was later arrested with Gamble’s vehicle in Louisiana.
He admitted to being in Gamble’s apartment but had “limited memory” of what happened, according to court documents.
