ROSYLN, S.D. (AP) - A prosecutor says he won’t pursue the death penalty should there be a conviction in the case of a man accused of fatally shooting another man in his Roslyn home.
Forty-five-year-old Jason Lewandowski has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to murder and other charges in the death of 33-year-old Jeremy Hendrickson in late 2015.
The American News reports (https://bit.ly/2ro7gJy ) that Day County State’s Attorney Danny Smeins said the decision not to pursue the death penalty was made after consultations with Hendrickson’s family.
