RAPID CITY, S.D. – A judge in Rapid City, South Dakota has granted a 90-day extension to the defense attorney of a man accused of murdering three people last year to be notified whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
36-year-old Arnson Absolu, a New York City man, is charged with three counts of premeditated first-degree murder for a series of alleged murders in August. His defense attorney asked the judge for the extension so he could investigate the circumstances that may mitigate a death penalty sentence and meet with prosecutors.
Absolu has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
