Jamestown, ND (KCSi- T.V. News Aug 23, 2012) \u2014 A Southeast District Court Jury, of eight women and four men, in Jamestown Thursday (Aug 23, 2012) has found 35 year old Leron Howard of Jamestown guilty of Murder and Criminal Conspiracy in death of Somali immigrant, Abdi Ali Ahmed, of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The jury deliberated about seven and a half hours, on Wednesday and five and a half hours on Thursday before returning the verdict about 2: 30 p.m. on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Howard, appeared to break down as the verdicts were read.<\/p>\n

Murder and Criminal Conspiracy are Class AA felonies punishable by life in prison without parole.<\/p>\n

The jury decided to deliberate on the murder charge rather than manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Manslaughter is a Class B felony punishable by 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Southeast District Court Judge, Thomas Merrick says sentencing will be handed down after a pre-sentencing investigation, in about eight weeks.<\/p>\n

Howard\u2019s court appointed defense attorney, Steve Mottinger, asked the jury to convict Howard of manslaughter during closing arguments.<\/p>\n

Following the verdict, Mottinger said, “I think we picked a good jury, the jury obviously worked very hard at this.”<\/p>\n

Prosecutor, Stutsman County State\u2019s Attorney, Fritz Fremgen, said the case fits the definition of murder.<\/p>\n

After the verdict, was read, Fremgen credited the jury for their dedication to the case.<\/p>\n

Ahmed\u2019s family say despite the guilty verdict, justice has still not been served, and are concerned that presiding judge, Thomas Merrick, will not give Howard the maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.<\/p>\n

They were not satisfied that co-defendent, Janelle Cave was convicted in February of this year, of the lesser charge of manslaughter, Ahmed\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Cave is appealing her conviction in the North Dakota Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Abdi Ali Ahmed\u2019s body was found in a road ditch near Spiritwood, on April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

An autopsy revealed he died of blunt force trauma to the head and he was also stabbed twice in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

On the stand Tuesday, Howard admitted to striking Ahmed twice during an altercation during the early morning hours of April 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

Jury selection in the case began Aug. 14, 2012 with testimony beginning on Aug. 15, 2012.<\/p>\n

Closing arguments were heard in the case Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) \u2014 The Jamestown City Council\u2019s Public Works, and Police and Fire Committees met Thursday evening (Aug 23, 2012) at City Hall. Council Member Gumke was not present.<\/p>\n

Fire Committee:<\/p>\n

No items of discussion at this time.<\/p>\n

The Police Committee considered a request that funds received by the Jamestown Police Range Committee from the recycling of brass items be deposited in the Range Committee fund for range maintenance.<\/p>\n

The brass items came from the Police Department, Sheriff\u2019s Department, Stutsman County Corrections, James River Correctional Center, ND Game & Fish, BCI, and the ND Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Scott Edinger said 1,100 pounds of brass items was received, amounting to just over $2,000.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends authorizing using the funds for range maintenance.<\/p>\n

The funds will be put into the city\u2019s self-clearing fund, until The Range Committee is formally organized.<\/p>\n

At that time the funds will be transferred.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Public Works Committee:<\/p>\n

The committee recommends putting on the September City Council agenda without recommendation, the Supplemental Agreement from Interstate Engineering, Inc. relating to the Sanitary Landfill.<\/p>\n

The agreement for engineering services for the expansion of the landfill to the adjacent 80-acres, in the amount of $99,500. Pending review of the original agreement.<\/p>\n

City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf said the expansion is projected for about 225 years. The landfill is seeing a 10% to 15% increase in waste each year.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

The committee then placed on the September Council agenda without recommendation a Supplemental Agreement No. 1 from Interstate Engineering, Inc. relating to the Inert Landfill. The amount is $38,200. Pending review of the original agreement.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

The committee recommended approving creating Sewer District # 12-31 and Water District #12-61 relating to the Titan Addition utility extensions.<\/p>\n

Steve Aldinger of Interstate Engineer presented drawings of the sewer and water line plans.<\/p>\n

He said the construction costs are estimated at $800,000 to $900,000.<\/p>\n

City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf said properties west and south of<\/p>\n

the Titan property will be able to tie into the line when future development happens.<\/p>\n

He said the city\u2019s failure to address corridor issues in the<\/p>\n

past, means the city is paying more for the route of these lines,<\/p>\n

now.<\/p>\n

The committee also recommends sending to the NDDOT, a permit application for boring for the lines.<\/p>\n

The committee discussed costs and options relating to the West Business Loop sidewalk construction.<\/p>\n

City Engineer Schwartzkopf presented the options.<\/p>\n

He added property owners still need to be apprised as to how the sidewalks would affect their properties, including parking lot spaces.<\/p>\n

He said there should be sufficient city right of ways to install the five foot wide sidewalks.<\/p>\n

The Mayor moved for the city engineer to pursue the project, and contact property owners, which was approved to recommend to the City Council.<\/p>\n

Discussion then related to overload\/oversize vehicles & establishing permit, fee & procedures policy for vehicles coming through the city.<\/p>\n

City Engineer Schwartzkopf recommended charging a permit fee.<\/p>\n

He said the vehicles are headed to the western North Dakota oil patch.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends moving forward in developing a policy.<\/p>\n

The meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 67, followed by replays.<\/p>\n
