HELENA — Richard Burkhart, wrongfully convicted of a 2001 murder in Great Falls, has settled his lawsuit against the city, Cascade County and state for $600,000, his attorney told MTN News Monday.
The settlement of Burkhart’s civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court was made final May 26.
Robert Farris-Olsen, Burkhart’s attorney, said the city of Great Falls agreed to pay $400,000 and Cascade County and the state covered the remainder of the settlement.
Burkhart, who lives now in Galveston, Texas, had been convicted for the 2001 beating death of William Ledeau, whose body was found in a downtown alley.

Legislature passes punitive measures aimed at environmental nonprofits


The Legislature on Wednesday passed a bill that takes special aim at environmental groups and other charitable organizations that have federal 501(c)3 nonprofit status.
Lawmakers also cleared a bill that removed a provision amended into it late in the process that would have had the Department of Justice investigate nonprofits that work on environmental issues.
On Tuesday, Republicans had altered a provision in Senate Bill 278 that would penalize nonprofit groups that file lawsuits related to government actions, exempting two categories of nonprofit organizations that are more commonly associated with political campaigns and lobbying.
Senate Bill 278 states that nonprofits involved in lawsuits over government actions — other than those directly related to their property or contracts — cannot consider those legal expenses tax-exempt. The amendment, brought by Sen. Steve Fitzpatrick, R-Great Falls, removes 501(c)4 organizations from that requirement. Those nonprofits are allowed to engage in more lobbying and political campaign work than 501(c)3 organizations, which would still face penalties under SB 278. They also don’t have to disclose their donors.

Bill upping repeat DUI penalties nears passage in Montana Legislature


HELENA — A bill increasing penalties for repeat DUI offenses is one step closer to becoming law after a Friday vote in the House of Representatives.
House Bill 115, sponsored by Rep. Bill Mercer, R-Billings, would increase fines and jail time for fifth and subsequent DUI convictions -- up to $10,000 and 25 years in prison for a seventh conviction. The House voted to accept amendments from the Senate on a 73-27 vote, meaning the bill faces one more vote before heading to Gov. Greg Gianforte’s desk.
During a House debate on the bill in February, Mercer positioned the bill as a way to prevent drunken drivers who reach their fifth or sixth DUI convictions from potentially harming people on the road. He added that while repeat offences are less and less likely each time a person is cited for driving under the influence, those who reach five or six convictions aren’t likely to stop.
