Isaak appealing Mandan quadruple murder conviction

(Mandan, ND) -- A man convicted of killing four people at a Mandan business in 2019 is appealing.

The attorney for Chad Isaak says the judgement should be reversed because of errors during jury selection and violations of Isaak's right to a public trial. Isaak's attorney says no record was made of certain conferences between the judge and attorneys prior to and during the trial and that public access to court documents and autopsy photos was improperly closed. She also says jurors were dismissed outside Isaak's presence.

Prosecutors have until July 30th to file a response.
