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.
The defense argued that Raymond Gunn acted in self-defense and during trial suggested a "stand your ground" law passed last year by the North Dakota Legislature should apply in Gunn’s case, despite it going into effect just days after the shooting.
