Notable incidents

  • Tristain Lynn Frye was sentenced to 13 years, nine months, for second-degree murder. [5]
  • Scotty James Butters and David Nikos Pillatos pled guilty to first-degree murder, accepted a plea agreement and testified against Monschke in exchange for being able to request that their imprisonment be no more than approximately 30 years. In June 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled "a sentence longer than the standard range could not be ordered by a judge without action by a jury, meaning Butters and Pillatos could face no more than 31 years in prison." [6]
  • Kurtis William Monschke was convicted of aggravated first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. The incident has been described as a hate crime. [7]
