Murder charge reduced to manslaughter for North Dakota man who struck, ran over, and killed conservative teen

By: Jarryd Jaeger, The Post Millennial, May 18, 2023:

On Monday, the North Dakota man accused of running over a teenager he deemed to be a “Republican extremist” had his charges reduced to manslaughter.

Shannon Brandt, 42, was originally charged with murder, a Class AA felony, over the death of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson in McHenry last September.

According to the Associated Press, Foster County State Attorney Kara Brinster’s decision to reduce the charges was not part of a plea deal, and Brandt is still expected to appear in court for trial beginning May 30.

“There is no evidence to support the misplaced allegation of intentional homicide,” Brandt’s lawyer Mark Friese said. “The state and defense forensic experts have provided comprehensive reports confirming this tragedy was an accident. Misplaced media hype and community conjecture is no substitute for evidence.”

An autopsy found that Ellingson’s injuries “weren’t caused from being struck by Shannon Brandt’s vehicle and were caused by being run over.”

As the Associated Press reports, investigators claim that the incident was not politically motivated, and that Ellingson was not part of a “Republican extremist” group, as Brandt originally said.

Following the incident, Brandt returned to the scene and called 911 on himself, but failed to stay until they arrived, opting instead to go back home. As a result, he was also charged with “fail[ing] to render aid as required” by North Dakota law.

Police soon caught up with Brandt, who had admitted to having consumed alcohol prior to the incident, and arrested him for driving under the influence. A chemical test later confirmed that he had, in fact, been over the legal limit.

With a murder charge, Brandt could have faced life in prison, however, if he’s found guilty of manslaughter, the maximum penalty is ten years.

I seceded from the banana republic on 11/4/2020 and KNOW the rule of law is dead in America, as is journalism. I vote with my wallet and keep my powder dry. Watch your six because things are about to get really crazy; as the deep state knows only MAGA candidates can hold a public rally. The rest of the banana republic communists are petrified to face an angry, armed populace; democrats and RINO’s both.

Well it’s the usual banana republic where the normal people don’t have cojones so, even though they brag about their prowess, they’ll be rounded up and rot in cells. Nobody’s afraid of them.

5 years with “good time” — This was murder. Being drunk at the time doesn’t serve as an excuse for homicide. Biden’s criminal regime is like a mini-Dark Age.

The poisonous University peofessors did such a thorough job of Brainwashing the youth and the rest of the democrat’s constituents into believing that republicans are “fascists nazi enemies” that they turned the democratic constituents tgemselves into nazi murderers. Take a look at the movie “the wave” you’ll understand exactly how the university professor in the US have, for tge last 35 years turned our daughters, sons, and adults behind closed doors classrooms, as captive audiences, into Brown Shirt Shtorm Abtalion soldiers of a revolution.

And that is why the voting age should be raised to up to 30. Young people have a lot to answer for in terms of their involvement in much of the worst, bloodiest, most violent and destructive and murderous political, cultural and social revolutions all around the world since the early 20th century at the very least (though one could argue they were among the shock troops of the French Revolution as well).

The academic elites were bankrolled into place to do what they have done by a family of wealthy, powerful, evil families. Academia was an investment in conquest that looked like an investment in education.

I wish this article explained more of the history of this case of this ‘transgender’ man pretending to be a woman who perpetrated this hate crime of premeditated murder when he murdered this young Conservative teenager.

The ‘transgenders’ on the whole, as an organized group, are so mentally unstable, so filled with hatred, so prone to extreme violence, that they are now carrying out premeditated murders of Conservatives all over the country. They have “days of rage” in which they openly encourage violence against Conservatives.

Pay attention, Conservatives. You may not want war…but war may want you.

Well, the murderer may only do 10 years or 5 years or 3 years. I hope the family of the victim sees that justice is truly served after the murderer gets out.

Bragg’s girlfriend is letting this POS off with a reduced sentence.
If that had been my kid. I would be waiting for that POS when he walked out to freedom. He wouldn’t be around long, there would be an accident.
