North Dakota Supreme Court upholds prosecutorial misconduct in Gaddie's 2021 child sex abuse case, requiring a retry or dismissal.

The North Dakota Supreme Court has denied a rehearing request from the Cass County State's Attorney's Office, upholding a prior ruling of prosecutorial misconduct in David Walter Gaddie's 2021 child sex abuse case. This decision means prosecutors must either retry Gaddie for gross sexual imposition or dismiss the case. Gaddie's previous conviction was overturned due to improper evidence handling, raising concerns for future similar cases.
