ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - An Aberdeen man convicted of fatally beating a friend over a $400 debt is appealing his conviction to the South Dakota Supreme Court.
A jury in April convicted 56-year-old Bradley Quist of killing 61-year-old Ron Witchey in May 2015, and Quist was sentenced to life in prison. Quist had unsuccessfully claimed self-defense.
The American News reports (https://bit.ly/2rb3jJx ) that defense attorneys have filed appeal paperwork with the high court, though they haven’t yet listed their grounds for appeal.
