North Dakota Farmer Granted New Trial On Murder Charge
The North Dakota Supreme Court reverses Cavalier County District Court and grants William Barry a new trial. Barry, a prominent Cavalier County farmer now serving life for murder, killed his hired man Andrew Mellem after alleging betrayal and a required prayer. The court faults the judge’s charge on credibility and weight of testimony, stating the circuit rule allowing judges to express views on credibility is abrogated. Chief Justice Wallin wrote the opinion.
