RAPID CITY, S.D. – A judge who had earlier granted a mistrial for Barry Allman, a man accused of second degree murder in the August 2020 fatal stabbing of Lance Baumgarten, has denied the defense’s request for a mistrial for the prejudice.
That will allow prosecutors to seek permission to retry the case.
Judge Matthew Brown denied the defense’s request, made on the behalf of the 31-year-old from Box Elder. Allman is accused of fatally stabbing Baumgarten at an apartment on North 7th Street in Rapid City in the early morning hours of August 6, 2020.
