On the third day of the trial for hunter Ronald Morosko, defense attorneys argued that law enforcement officers failed to conduct an adequate investigation into what happened when Morosko fatally shot bowhunter Gregory Gabrisch in the mountains north of Rico.
Morosko is charged with criminal negligent homicide and hunting in a careless manner in the shooting death of Gabrisch while the two hunted separately in the San Juan National Forest on Sept. 17, 2021.
