A jury in Grand Forks has found Nichole Rice not guilty in the 2007 killing of her roommate, Anita Knutson, in Minot. Prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in Rice’s statements and presented testimony from two witnesses who claimed Rice admitted to the crime. The defense questioned law enforcement’s handling of the case and pointed to an alternate person of interest who was never charged. With the verdict returned, those hoping for justice for Anita are left with more questions than answers.
