COOPERSTOWN, N.D. (AP) – A judge will decide whether a North
\nDakota man convicted of shooting and beheading a North Dakota State
\nUniversity researcher should serve life in prison without parole.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A jury in April found Daniel Wacht guilty of murder in the death
\nof 54-year-old Kurt Johnson. Prosecutors say Wacht killed Johnson
\nto prove his worth to a white supremacist group.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Johnson was last seen alive outside a Cooperstown bar on New
\nYear’s Eve 2010. His severed head was found in a crawl space in
\nWacht’s basement. His body has not been found.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors said during trial there were “layers of evidence”
\nto convict Wacht. Defense attorney Steven Mottinger argued that
\nthere was no way to prove Wacht pulled the trigger.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sentencing is scheduled today in Cooperstown at 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0Judge David Reich sentenced Steven Bannister to life in prison without

\nthere is enough evidence to convict him.<\/p>\n

The plea is treated as a conviction for sentencing purposes.

\nofficer responded to a domestic disturbance call.<\/p>\n

Kenner was the first Bismarck police officer killed in the line of duty.

\nIt did not damage any structures or hurt any people. But it did
\nprompt the shut-down of an eight-mile stretch of the popular Maah

\nsuggests growth while a score below 50 suggests decline for that
\nfactor.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
\nNebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.<\/p>\n
