Jamestown   (KVLY) 25-year-old Justice Lange pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and to child neglect charges, both felonies, Wednesday morning  in Stutsman County Court,  before Judge Jay Schmitz in a case surrounding the death of her baby boy.  She remains in custody at the Stutsman County Correctional Center.

The body of 4-month-old Tyr was found in early July in rural Stutsman County. Justice had been missing for four days and told police she couldn’t remember the last time she had her son.

KVLY reports,  during the probable cause hearing,  Wednesday, Stutsman County State’s Attorney Fritz  Fremgen called Stutsman County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Falk to the stand. Falk was the lead detective on the case. He indicated Lange had last been seen on June 28 in Woodworth.

He said Lange told authorities she had taken meth earlier in the day before leaving Jamestown with the baby. He said she stopped in Woodworth because she was having car troubles. After leaving Woodworth, she was observed by farmers entering their property, but they didn’t see her leave and didn’t see the vehicle she was driving again.

On July 2, Lange was reported missing by her boyfriend. On July 6, Lange was found walking on a road in rural Stutsman County by a passing vehicle, according to Falk. She was taken to her grandparents home in Carrington, and then to the hospital. Falk said Lange told him she had injuries to her chest. Authorities began searching for the child, and with Lange’s help, were able to locate the slough where she said she had been staying with the baby. The child’s body was found on July 7.

Fremgen requested Lange be charged as a habitual offender, which would double the maximum sentence for each charge. The manslaughter charge would then carry a maximum sentence of 20 years, and the child neglect would carry a maximum sentence of 10 years.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum says budget challenges still exist despite an uptick in the state’s economy led by near-record oil production.State budget writers on Wednesday released an updated revenue forecast that shows oil and gas tax revenue exceeding expectations by more than $1.4 billion in the current two-year budget cycle.The Republican governor says the state’s treasury is not as rosy as it seems.North Dakota has balanced its budgets the past few years through cuts, layoffs and massive raids on state savings.Burgum says the increased revenue still isn’t enough to make up for the fiscal gap from past budgets. He says he is sticking to his April directive that agencies slash budgets 5 percent to 10 percent. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Health Department has documented the state’s first case of measles in seven years.

Officials say the case was reported Tuesday, in a Burleigh County resident who the department says likely contracted the disease out of state.

The person has recovered and is no longer contagious but went to numerous spots in the Bismarck area while contagious. The Health Department is notifying people who were exposed.

The department says measles is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and even death. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes, followed by a rash. All children are recommended to be vaccinated.

It’s the first measles case in North Dakota since 2011, when there was a documented case in Cass County.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The lone remaining environmental group facing racketeering accusations by the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline has asked a federal judge to be dismissed from the case.

Greenpeace attorneys on Tuesday filed documents arguing that revised allegations by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act are “generalized and implausible.”

ETP initially sued Greenpeace, Earth First and BankTrack last year for up to $1 billion, alleging they worked to undermine the $3.8 billion pipeline that’s now shipping North Dakota oil to a distribution point in Illinois. The lawsuit alleged the groups interfered with company business, facilitated crimes and acts of terrorism, incited violence, targeted financial institutions that backed the project, and violated defamation and racketeering laws. The groups maintained the lawsuit was an attack on free speech.

U.S. District Judge Billy Roy Wilson this summer dismissed both BankTrack and Earth First as defendants. In July, he denied a motion by Greenpeace to be dismissed, as well, but he also ordered ETP to revise the lawsuit that he said contained vague claims. Company lawyers did so last month.

Greenpeace attorneys maintain that “ETP has utterly failed to follow the court’s direction,” and that the amended lawsuit “contains much the same inflammatory, insubstantial language” as before.

ETP spokeswoman Vicki Granado declined comment, citing company policy against commenting on active litigation.

 

VALIER, Mont. (AP) — They’re called an invisible and disposable population. Native American women have gone missing and been murdered for years, but many cases remain unsolved. Now the push is on for answers — and ways to stop these tragedies.

Federal and state lawmakers have proposed or adopted a series of measures designed to address the problem of missing and murdered Native women and girls and related issues, such as human trafficking, domestic violence and rape.

No one knows precisely how many of these cases there are because some go unreported, others aren’t documented thoroughly and there isn’t a specific government database to track them. But one U.S. senator with victims in her home state calls this an epidemic, a long-standing problem linked to inadequate resources, outright indifference and a confusing jurisdictional maze.
