State rests in Swanson case

The state wrapped up its case yesterday in the Michael Swanson murder trial in Carroll. Swanson hasn't testified, but the jury did hear his words from last November after the alleged crime, when he said he felt powerful and his adrenaline was pumping. He also admitted to killing convenience store clerk Sheila Myers so she couldn't call police. The defense maintains Swanson was legally insane at the time of the slayings. He's also charged with killing another clerk the same day. That trial is set for July.
