Defense attorney Josh Kolsrud said he was “flabbergasted” by the defense strategy used in the trial of fire chief Kevin West, who is accused of strangling his wife, Marcelle “Marcy” West. According to Kolsrud, the claim that Marcy West died from a seizure caused by a massage was not just unusual, but fundamentally flawed. As a trial lawyer who regularly handles homicide cases, he described the theory as a risky all-or-nothing approach that placed the entire defense on a medical explanation that was highly vulnerable to expert testimony.
