Man appeals homicide conviction in death of exchange student

December 29, 2015 11:17 PM EST | AP


HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Missoula man serving a 70-year sentence for fatally shooting a German exchange student in his garage is appealing his conviction, arguing jurors weren't properly instructed about justifiable use of force and that pre-trial news coverage biased the jury.

Paul Ryan and Nate Holloway filed the appeal with the Montana Supreme Court on behalf of 31-year-old Markus Kaarma on Monday. Kaarma was convicted last December in the April 2014 death of 17-year-old Diren Dede. Kaarma was sentenced in February after District Judge Ed McLean denied a motion for a new trial.
