JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP & KCSi-T.V. News Aug 20, 2012) \u2013 A woman who has been convicted of manslaughter says she sold drugs to the victim.
\nTwenty-two-year-old Janelle Cave testified during the fifth day (Monday Aug 20, 2012) of 34-year-old Leron Howard\u2019s trial that she sold 18-year-old Abdi Ali Ahmed marijuana.<\/p>\n

Howard has pleaded not guilty to murder and criminal conspiracy in the April 2011 death of Ahmed, whose body was found in a ditch near Spiritwood.

Cave testified that Howard struck Ahmed outside her trailer and knocked him unconscious.<\/p>\n

They transported Ahmed to the home of Delmonte Jones near Spiritwood, where they left Ahmed unconscious in the car.<\/p>\n

Tuesday may be the last day of testimony in the case.<\/p>\n

Howard is expected to take the stand during the trial to tell his version of the events surrounding Ahmed\u2019s death.
\nJudge Thomas Merrick says the case could go to the jury by midweek.<\/p>\n

\nLionel R. Jewett OF Fort Yates pleaded guilty to counts of assault
\nwith intent to commit murder, two counts of assault with a

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota district judge has been
\ndisciplined by the state Supreme Court, but she says she’s pleased
\nby some parts of the court’s ruling.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Supreme Court admonished Cynthia Feland for her conduct in
\nher former job as a Burleigh County prosecutor.<\/p>\n

She’s been a judge for almost two years.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The case arose from Feland’s prosecution of former North Dakota
\nworkers’ compensation director Sandy Blunt.<\/p>\n

Blunt was convicted of misspending agency funds.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Supreme Court says Feland failed to turn over some evidence
\nto Blunt’s defense lawyer.<\/p>\n

The court said the mistake didn’t hurt Blunt’s case.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Feland says she’s pleased the Supreme Court concluded she didn’t
\nwithhold evidence on purpose, and that her error didn’t harm
\nBlunt’s defense.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The admonishment won’t affect Feland’s ability to work as a
\njudge.<\/p>\n
