Minn. man charged with killing 2 teens posts bail

Posted: Updated:

A central Minnesota charged with killing two teenage cousins who broke into his home on Thanksgiving is out of jail.

Judge Douglas Smith cut Smith's bail sharply Monday despite a plea by prosecutor Todd Kosovich to double or even triple it. Kosovich said the shootings of 17-year-old Nick Brady and 18-year-old Halie Kifer were an ambush, not self-defense.

But defense attorney Steve Meshbesher said Smith wants to stay in Little Falls and defend himself against the second-degree murder charges.

Smith told investigators his home had been burglarized several times before the Thanksgiving break-in.
