Ash later ui aggcu ici ii a body into a nearby field and covered it with snow. conviction of Leland Thomas Ash, formerly of Forsyth and Billings, who was found guilty of the February 1993 murder of Kevin Kern of Lemmon, S.D. Ash and Kern were driving from Lemmon to Hettinger, N.D., a southwestern North Dakota community, when the shooting occurred, court documents say. The men had been drinking together earlier that evening.

A railroad worker, the 30-year-old Ash was living temporarily in Hettinger at the time, picking up railroad ties. He said Kern's rifle accidentally went off when the two men stopped A prosecutor acted properly when he used a rifle and a prone sheriff to demonstrate how a killing may have happened, the North Dakota Supreme Court ruled Thursday. The decision upholds the murder Jim vuKeiic, I an assistant i to the jury during closing argu-; ments was not a reason to reverse, the verdict. "Every time I would hear that, I would remind myself this is the hoi-J iday season, it's a time when we. are normally happy, a time that we! spend with our family," Vukelic; told the jury.

"Kevin won't be spending time with his family." Meschke wrote that Vukelic's speech, although "perhaps melodramatic," did not require over- turning the verdict. Justice Dale Sandstrom and Chief-Justice Gerald VandeWalle sided with Meschke's opinion. Justices Beryl Levine and William Neu-j mann wrote separate concurring i During closing arguments in Ash's December 1993 trial in Hettinger, Vukelic had Adams County Sheriff Robert Bartz lie on the floor while Vukelic stood over him, pointing the rifle at Bartz's head, its barrel only a few inches away. "The demonstration was nothing more than a vivid visual summarization of the state's view of a large body of evidence that depicted an execution-style killing. It was not improper and was not obvious error," said the court's majority opinion, written by Justice Herbert Meschke.

Ash's lawyer, David Senn of Dickinson, also argued that Vukel-ic's brief singing of a Christmas carol, "Do You Hear What I Hear," attorney general who prosecuted Ash, contended Ash shot Kern deliberately behind his left ear after FOR THE RECORD BIRTHS E3 1 smashing his Vukelic: face with the ri- Singing, fle's butt.
