Montana State: Former Montana State Athletes Face Death Penalty



Former Montana State Athletes Face Death Penalty: Former Montana State basketball player John Lebrum and football player Branden Miller have asked the Montana State Supreme Court to overturn a district court’s ruling that the two are eligible for the death penalty if convicted. The two are accused of murder, aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence in the killing of alleged cocaine dealer Jason Wright. Lawyers for the pair argue that the district attorney should not be allowed to seek the death penalty because he did not notify the court in writing within 60 days of the arraignment. [2/26/07]
