Libby man accused in Russian roulette death pleads no contest
Keigan Isaiah Ball
A Libby man facing charges involving the death of another local man on Memorial Day weekend during a game of Russian roulette pleaded no contest to the offense on Monday, Dec. 4.
Keigan I. Ball, 22, who is free on $50,000 bail, appeared in Lincoln County District Court and pleaded no contest to a felony count of criminal endangerment. A charge of negligent homicide was dismissed as part of a plea deal. The agreement calls for a 3-year deferred sentence.
Judge Matt Cuffe set Ball's sentencing for Jan. 29, 2024. A no contest plea means the defendant does not assume guilt, but believes he could be found guilty. Ball, as he said to an investigator following the shooting, believed he had unloaded his gun.
