The Tribune previously identified the victim as Tasha Roberts, but Cascade County Attorney Josh Racki said she used both last names. Racki will refer to her as Rush throughout the trial, so that is the name the Tribune will use in order to quote the testimony exactly.
Jury selection finished up quickly Monday, and attorneys presented their opening statements Monday afternoon.
Racki showed a photo of Rush, who was 28 when she was killed on May 14, 2017. He also showed the jury a photo of her in the bathtub where investigators found her.
Racki said two days after Rush s death, law enforcement was looking for Lebeau because he had cut off a GPS tracking device required by his probation in another matter.
