A trial is indeed a rare event…a murder trial occurs about as often as a solar eclipse. In 2023, from some 2000 Del Norte cases about a quarter of those cases were felonies. there were just seven cases that went to trial. Mostly for cost expediency, plea deals are almost the rule, again with rare exceptions.
The Second Degree Murder and Drug Trial of Matthew Earl Rickner, 30, is one of those rare solar eclipse cases.
