NOLAN LISTER

Beckman, 36, and Robert John Harvel, 32, were alleged to have driven Biggs to Moose Creek Campground near Rimini under the false pretense of a meth deal, then shooting and killing Biggs and taking his money.

The state also charged Beckman with an alternative count, that Beckman helped commit the robbery of Biggs who was killed in the process and therefore Beckman is culpable in Biggs’ death.
