A Randall man has pleaded not guilty to all four charges he faces including one count of first degree attempted murder. Along with the murder charge Kyle St. Martin-Smith also faces one count of first-degree assault, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and a charge of fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance. The charges are related to a May incident at a Randall trailer park in which St. Martin-Smith allegedly shot a Little Falls resident, attacked him with a baseball bat and repeatedly threatened his life. The attorney representing St. Martin-Smith, Adam T. Johnson said he and his client intend to argue self-defense in regards to the incident. Johnson said that the defendant was protecting himself, his dwelling and another person, St. Martin-Smith’s girlfriend, who was present during the incident. Johnson also successfully filed a motion to remove Judge Conrad Freeberg from the case. Instead, Judge Daniel Benson will preside over the court proceedings. A pretrial date has been set for January 20th at 1:00pm, with a trial to be scheduled no fewer than 30 days after that.
