The double homicide trial that began last week in Missoula County District Court is nearing its end after the defense rested its case on Wednesday, but not before defendant Caressa Hardy tried removing his lead attorney as counsel.
Caressa Hardy, 51 when he was arrested in July 2017, is charged with two counts of deliberate homicide for allegedly killing Thomas Korjack and Robert Orozco four years earlier, and two counts of solicitation for murder for allegedly trying to seek out inmates to kill the key witness in the case.
