March 2016 Trial Set for Burke Man Accused of Killing Son

BURKE, S.D. (AP) — A Burke man accused of killing his infant son by shaking him is to stand trial next spring, two years after the death.

Twenty-three-year-old Adam Bruns has pleaded not guilty to several charges including murder in the March 2014 death of 3-month-old Levi Bruns. He would face a life prison sentence if convicted of second-degree murder.

A two-week trial is scheduled for March 2016 in the Gregory County Courthouse.
