Libby man sentenced in Russian roulette death
Keigan Isaiah Ball
A Libby man who pleaded no contest to his involvement in the death of another during a game of Russian roulette was sentenced Monday in Lincoln County District Court.
Keigan I. Ball, 22, made his plea to a felony count of criminal endangerment on Dec. 4. Monday, he received a 3-year deferred sentence from Judge Matt Cuffe. A charge of negligent homicide was dismissed as part of a plea deal. Ball had faced a 10-year sentence.
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 during the incident on Memorial Day weekend.
