A Montana man has pleaded not guilty to charges of deliberate homicide in the death of a man who was killed in a tent. The defendant claims that he acted in self-defense during the incident.
The defendant, whose identity has not been disclosed, appeared in court on Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty. The charges stem from an altercation that occurred in a tent where the victim was staying. Authorities have not released many details about the incident, but witnesses have reported that there was a physical altercation between the two men before the victim was fatally injured.
The defendant’s attorney argues that his client was defending himself during the altercation and that the victim was the aggressor in the situation. The case is currently being investigated by law enforcement authorities, and more details are expected to be revealed as the case progresses.
The defendant has been released on bail pending further legal proceedings. A trial date has not yet been set.
