ND: William Dittmer was Justified in Shooting Duane Turchin



Dittmer claims the shooting was an act of self-defense.

“Mr. Turchin was a considerably larger man. He had presented himself as a challenge to Mr. Dittmer,” explained State’s Attorney Birch Burdick. “He was present on Mr. Dittmer’s property and challenging him right there at his car. The evidence indicated that when Mr. Dittmer got out of his car, Mr. Turchin put his hand around his throat and was squeezing his throat.”

The evidence includes Sheriff’s Office photographs that show a spilled drink on the drivers side window of the vehicle, which Dittmer Jr. said was thrown at him. Photographs also show faint, red scratch marks on Dittmer’s neck. This was corroborated by Dittmer’s girlfriend, Adrienne Johnson, who saw the altercation from inside the couple’s home.

This is the one time that he was not justified in this shooting of Duane. He baited him to walk over to his place, hid in his yard and shot him. There was no video, nor did they dna or bac/drug test.No eye witness, other then a girlfriend who would lie for him. He used his gun rights to shot a man in cold blood and called it self - defense.

How would you know your assertion to be correct, when you state:

No video.

No witnesses other than the girlfriend.

Everyone who was there and lived, says it was self defense, and there is physical evidence corroborating their story of what happened.

All the evidence points to self defense.
