During his arraignment on Wednesday, Ashland business man Nathan Monkelien stood silent as he watched via teleconference as the charges of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of resisting or obstructing an officer and one count of disorderly conduct. According to TheDailyPress, a fifth charge, battery, was also issued before the arraignment, a motion hearing to dismiss that count will be heard at a later date. Monkelien’s attorney renewed the argument that Monkelien was acting in self-defense at the time he shot and killed Manuel and Luis Garcia Salas last October. By not entering a plea, Monkelien signaled to the court he refuses to admit guilt or profess innocence. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
