Kaarma Trial

The lead attorney for Markus Kaarma, Paul Ryan of Missoula, has filed his revised expert witness list for the trial scheduled to begin on December 1.

The Missoula County Attorney's Office has filed a list of expert witnesses scheduled to testify during the Markus Kaarma deliberate homicide trial that begins on December 1.

Missoula District Judge Ed McLean said on Wednesday that he will give local media preferential coverage of the Markus Kaarma trial over that of national and international media.

The attorneys representing accused murderer Markus Kaarma received a favorable ruling from District Judge Ed McClean last Friday.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Prosecutors are telling a judge there is no need to move the trial of a Missoula homeowner accused of shooting and killing an unarmed exchange student who entered his garage.

While defense attorneys want the trial of Markus Kaarma to be held outside of Missoula, county prosecutors want it to stay right here.

The murder trial of Markus Kaarma, originally scheduled to begin on January 5, 2015 has now been moved up to begin in December of this year.

A neighbor of Markus Kaarma claims that she had a road rage altercation with the man who is currently headed to trial for the shooting death of foreign exchange student Diren Dede, and that the incident happened just hours before the shooting occurred.

The deliberate homicide trial of Markus Kaarma has been set for January 5, 2015 in Missoula District Court.

German investigators in slain exchange student Diren Dede's hometown of Hamburg have asked authorities in Missoula for details into the investigation of his death.
