No charges in deadly shooting in Casselton; case of self defense prosecutors decide
Paul Jurgens
FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – The Cass County State’s Attorney’s Office has decided not to file criminal charges against a man who shot and killed a man in Casselton late last month.Prosecutors decided they could not prove that 54-year-old Edwin Kester Jr. intended to kill 58-year-old Randell Burton in an apartment connected to Club 94, a bar and restaurant on October 18.
In a report obtained by KFGO News, prosecutors said, “under the totality of the circumstances, the State is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Kester’s use of deadly force in self-defense and/or defense of others was unjustified.”
Under North Dakota law, an individual is justified in using deadly force to protect the life of themselves or others.
Burton broke into the apartment where his girlfriend was living. Kester was staying with the woman because she feared that Burton may try to hurt her.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says a store employee called 911 around 9:30 p.m. to say that their business, Blessings Cannabis, had been robbed by four or five males with guns who were wearing hooded jackets and masks.
The employees told deputies that the suspects pointed guns at them while they stole money and marijuana. At one point, an employee retrieved a gun and shot at the suspects.

Hack Stone is well familiar with that area. In fact, he was up in that area just last month, and stocked up on the requisites, that being Italian Hoagies and Soft Pretzels.
Just a few weeks ago, some guy was driving past Lincoln High School a few blocks north of this particular shooting, and he was killed by some POS who was taking a few shots at one of the students of said High School. Cops arrested the asshole, but should have given him a bit of Frank Rizzo Justice and shot him while he resisted arrest.
Hack Stone,

But, HEY…..aren’t stories of defensive use of firearms just “canards,” after all?
Turns out that Mr. Kester Jr. is a real Knight in shining armour that really said G’night to Mr. Burton. Hopefully, Mr. Burton will sleep rather peacefully with that.
A shoot-out at a pot-shop called Blessings just for the sake of some stealing some reefer? Guess it was a real blessing no one was actually hurt(can only guess just how hard it must be to draw a bead on one’s target when they’re seeing double from smoking too much pot *puff*puff*pass*).
That black rifle is meant for shoot’n and those boots were made for walk’n – THAT my friends, is one very sassy looking school girl… Cheers and beers to all here!!
Bring me that one…the sultry one…the one with fire in her hair. Wouldn’t blundering into that bust…Oh, what? Blunderbuss, not bust.
Y’all got real lucky…or cursed, depending on your outlook. The Gun Bunny (ht 2 AW1Ed) thought he may be off the net and as dark as Navy’s chances of winning a certain gridiron competition next month. I’ve relocated the base of operations for awhile and did find a hot spot. I’ll let you know how the chicken n dumplin’s (along with the Southern Cornbread Dressing) turn out.
Hadn’t seen this linky show up in while, so I went and snagged it. It used to be Sites that link to this post.
