Defense Attorneys In Okland Murder Case Seek Extension
(Adel, IA) — Lawyers for the woman accused of shooting and killing an Iowa woman 15 years ago want the judge to wait for more evidence before deciding if the case will be dismissed. Kristin Ramsey’s attorneys want an August pre-trial conference delayed and the judge to rule on whether to dismiss the case after hearing testimony from investigators. Defense attorneys claim the witness changed her story several times while her 2026 police interview and phone calls weren’t recorded. Ramsey is accused in the 2011 murder of realtor Ashley Okland during an open house at a West Des Moines townhouse. Prosecutors say the witness in the case is consistent and credible. Ramsey is on house arrest at her Woodward home.
