Grand Forks man appeals manslaughter conviction

Grand Forks man appeals manslaughter conviction


GRAND FORKS — A Grand Forks man is working to overturn his conviction for killing his friend.

Donald Bartlette’s attorney, Kiara Costa Kraus-Parr, wants the North Dakota Supreme Court to declare a mistrial when he was found guilty of manslaughter in the October 2024 death of Tony Kiehl.

During a hearing Monday, June 22, Costa Kraus-Parr said prosecutors unfairly made jurors biased against Bartlette at trial in August of last year.

That includes referencing past drug use and testimony from a witness who called Bartlette a bully.

That testimony was objected to, and the objection was sustained.

Bartlette was found guilty of manslaughter and was later sentenced in December to 10 years in prison.

Bartlette, 46, maintains Kiehl, 49, came at him with a knife and he acted in self-defense.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

Much to Delia’s dismay, she experienced extreme cold, blizzards, and having to travel to West Fargo, ND for authentic Philippine ingredients for traditional food. Delia was an avid reader, history buff, and enjoyed crocheting and knitting.
