North Dakota's Supreme Court upheld Spencer Moen's life sentence, allowing young children to testify remotely in his wife's murder case.
The North Dakota Supreme Court has upheld the life sentence without parole for Spencer Moen, affirming his 2023 murder conviction for the beating death of his wife, Sonja Moen.
On October 9, 2025, the court ruled that allowing two young children—aged 5 and younger—to testify remotely via video did not violate Moen’s constitutional right to confront witnesses, citing psychological evaluations that showed in-person testimony would have traumatized them and impaired their ability to communicate.
The court found the district court’s decision lawful under state law, which permits remote testimony when a child’s well-being is at risk.
The ruling ends Moen’s appeal.
