BREAKING: Judge Rejects New Trial for Casper Man Who Shot Mother
A Natrona County District Court Judge on Monday ruled against a new trial for a Casper man convicted of murder in the shooting death of his mother.
Judge Daniel Forgey rejected defense attorneys argument that Andrew Steplock did not receive adequate representation during his November 2019 jury trial.
Andrew Steplock has exhausted virtually all of his legal options for a new trial. He does have the option of appealing Forgey s ruling to the Wyoming Supreme Court.
Prior to the trial, a psychologist for the Wyoming State Hospital determined that Steplock did not lack substantial capacity as a result of mental illness or deficiency, to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of law.
