Editor’s Note: The Tribune previously identified the victim in this case as Tasha Roberts, but Cascade County Attorney Josh Racki said she used the last names “Roberts” and “Rush.” Racki refers to her as Rush throughout the trial, so that is the name the Tribune is using in order to quote the testimony exactly.
The jury began hearing witness testimony Tuesday in the homicide trial of Stanley Isaac Lebeau, who is accused of killing Tasha Rush in 2017 and leaving her body in a bathtub at the Airway Motel in Great Falls.
Two Great Falls Police Department officers and a Montana Probation and Parole Officer testified to the series of events that led to Lebeau’s arrest on May 16, 2017.
