Police seek manslaughter charge in indictment dispute
Chief McKee and Special Officer Stargell ask district court to strike the word willful from the joint indictment or permanently construe it as manslaughter. They contend willful could imply malice and raise the charge to second degree murder, claiming the grand jury did not intend a harsher offense. They may plead if their motion is denied and reserve the right to quash the indictment. McKee and Stargell are indicted for manslaughter in the death of W C Ryason Cresten and are free on bond.
