Acre-Kendall’s fate in hands of jurors in St. Croix County

December 14, 2015 By WRN Contributor

Jurors returned to the Polk County Courthouse Monday morning to resume deliberations in the case of Levi Acre-Kendall, a 20-year-old Cambridge, Minnesota man on trial in the death of 34-year-old Peter Kelly of St. Croix Falls this past April, following an argument at Interstate Park on the St. Croix River. Acre Kendall is claiming self-defense.

After a week of testimony that began last Monday and included 17 witnesses and 100 pieces of evidence, jurors began deliberation about 2:30 Saturday afternoon and met till 8:00 p.m. Jurors then continued deliberations at 8:30 a.m. Sunday and continued till 8:00 p.m. Sunday night.

Kelly and a fishing partner were on the Minnesota side of the river on April 14. A cross-river verbal argument between the two men, and Acre-Kendall and a group of his friends, culminated when Kelly and his friend drove across the river to confront the group on the Wisconsin side.

That’s when there was a scuffle, with Acre-Kendall allegedly pulling a knife on Kelly, who was stabbed once in the left side of his chest, piercing his heart.
