Judge Brenda Gilbert issued a motion May 4 to stay the case for 120 days to allow the state of Montana to complete an investigation into the claim, which is required under Montana state law. The suit stems from a 2015 motor vehicle crash in the Shields Valley that resulted in a vehicular homicide case against Overstreet. Rhiannon Wills, 17, died in the crash and two others were seriously injured. Overstreet was tried twice in the case, once in 2017 and once in 2018, with both trials ending in hung juries. The charges against him were dismissed by Gilbert with prejudice, which prevents the case from being retried, in 2020, weeks before a third trial was scheduled to begin. Overstreet’s attorneys, Jami Rebson and Suzanne Marshall, filed a complaint March 29 against Park Coun- ty, the Montana Highway Patrol; state Trooper Eric Fetterhoff; Barbara Watson, Courtesy of Livingston Depot Center former proprietor of Watson The historic Livingston Depot passenger terminal is pictured from the railroad tracks.

Miller told the House Over- sight Committee that he was concerned before the insur- rection that sending troops to the building could fan fears of a military coup and cause a repeat of the deadly Kent State shootings.
