Prosecution Rests In Huber Case

After seven and a half days of testimony and 68 witnesses, the State of South Dakota has rested it’s case against Ken Huber. Prosecutors called two witnesses Thursday morning. John Farnam operates Defense Training International, a consulting firm that specializes in firearms training for law enforcement. Farnam was asked by prosecutor Robert Mayer to look over the evidence collected in the shooting death or Pam Huber. Farnam told jurors he believed based on the “totality of the evidence” that the death of Pam Huber was not consistant with that of an accident. Defense attorney Clint Sargent challenged Farnam’s response noting to jurors Farnam has no training in homicide investigation or forensics. Two defense witnesses including James Dean, a City of Highmore employee who worked with Pam Huber, said Huber was in good spirits leading up the shooting. Dean said quote, “She seemed exteremely happy” end quote. Also taking the stand for the defense is Ken Huber’s sister Elizabeth Lewis, who also noticed brusing on Pam’s arms during an Old Settler’s Day Celebration in Highmore, Huber said was the result of carring a heat press.
