The prosecution rejected the notion that Cody Plumlee could claim self-defense. "He's an intruder in this residence. That's not self-defense," Reneta Olafson Selzer said.
Cody Plumlee described a fast-moving relationship and escalating tensions in the months before Kirsten Knaus suffered severe injuries in a staircase fall during an altercation with her boyfriend.
When defense attorney Jeff Bredahl asked nurse Katelyn Desautel if Kirsten Knaus might not have died had there not been a problem with her breathing tube, Desautel said she couldn't answer the question. When Bredahl asked her who could answer that question she replied, "no one."
