DETROIT LAKES — It was standing room only for the sentencing of 56-year-old Morris Dodd.
"The defendant had left Jay Nelson to die alone," said Minnesota Assistant Attorney General John Gross, who prosecuted the case.
Dodd shot and killed retired Lake Park police chief Jay Nelson in a hunting accident more than two years ago. Nelson was sitting in his pickup along a trail near his family's hunting cabin on the White Earth Reservation.
