FARGO – At times, William Henry Hoehn’s conspiracy to murder trial flows like an episode from “Law & Order.” Jurors and observers are on seat edges, necks craned, listening to Hoehn’s mumbling lies and hesitant admissions of guilt during his recorded interviews with police 13 months ago.
Each morning, defense attorney Daniel James Borgen wheels a rolling tote laden with boxes, duffle bags, and notebooks into the courtroom, coughing frequently as he’s at the tail end of a…

FARGO – U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp quietly took the stage at the Big Iron Farm Show Tuesday morning, first moving a large poster away from gathering eyes.
“Congressman Cramer (declined to participate),” the sign read.
She made no mention of why Kevin Cramer keeps refusing to debate her on the issues during this year’s race for the U.S. Senate, a seat she currently holds. Five times so far, Cramer has refused to debate, even as the country, and especially North Dakota, stand on…
