Does anyone know how long a person needs to live in a state to be considered a legal resident of that state. I am thinking specifically of NE.

Well there are full year and part year residents.
I would suggest that you look at Nebraska's tax code for that answer.

Bonnie,
The Fourteenth Amendment states in part: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This pretty much rules out any requirement for having to reside for a length of time to become a legal resident.
You may, however, raise issues about what state a person "resides" in. For example, a college student attending school in one state may be considered a resident of the state where his parents live.
Generally, a person would be considered a legal resident if he owns or rents real estate, registers to vote, licenses his cars, obtains a driver's license, and/or receives mail.

are we confusing [residency] vs. [primary residency] ?
wherever one lays one's head for the night is ones residence
for TAX purposes and motor vehicle registration and certain licenses one needs a "Primary Residence"
states usually have a 12 month 'establishment' period
in other words, even if one lives in multiple states during the year, one state would be primary as per IRS ~ after 12 mo also by that state
do not confuse federal 'rights' with 'state rights'
