Update on this, the trial was postponed until August because the defendant's expert witnesses had schedule conflicts:

One of the experts is in the field of "psychology and trauma response" whatever that means. I still can't believe the guy is pleading not guilty. He told a deputy exactly what happened, and his hunting partner was right there and saw the whole thing.

Oh, almost forgot, he has a public defender. So most likely the expert witnesses as well as his lawyer are being paid for by local taxpayers.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
