Central to the first-degree murder trial of Daniel Niebuhr is whether the Fairbank man acted in a premeditated manner when he shot and killed his son, Brock, on March 22, 2019, or did it in a bout of insanity.
Bremer County Attorney Kasey Wadding filed his closing arguments in the bench trial last week with Bremer County District Court Judge DeDra Schroeder. Defense attorneys Chad Frese and Jennifer Frese filed their closing on Monday.
Wadding is scheduled to file a rebuttal on Monday, Dec. 21. Schroeder will render a decision sometime after that.
In the balance is whether Daniel Niebuhr will spend the rest of his life in prison, will be committed to a mental facility or walk away a free man.
