BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Supreme Court has denied an appeal of a man accused of killing the mother of his child and three other people in Minot in January 2011.
The attorney for Omar Mohamed Kalmio told the state’s high court in November that the judge in the case improperly admitted hearsay evidence about Kalmio’s past, that Kalmio was not allowed to give an alibi and that there was not enough evidence for a conviction.
Ward County Deputy State’s Attorney Kelly Dillon argued that all four people were killed with the same weapon, and the only connection between the four people was Kalmio.
Kalmio, a Somali national, is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.
