Self-Defense Stand Attacked Hartshorn Murder Case Heads To Jury
In the Hartshorn second degree murder trial at Logan, prosecutors rest their case as jurors near retirement for deliberation this afternoon. The defense is set to present final arguments after a noon recess while the state offers rebuttal and the judge delivers the charge. Robert Hartshorn testified under cross examination about his claim of self-defense for killing his brother Lloyd last November 29. He said he did not call the sheriff to protect his family. Prosecutor Murray pressed whether the aim was to kill, to which Robert replied it was not. Defense rested briefly, with Mildred Hartshorn denying any window signaling and statements about summoning him toward the house. Additional arraignments occurred for Mildred and Everett Hartshorn on charges of hiding to avoid subpoenas, bond set at $200 each.
