EPISODE 6: Respected National Media Legal Expert Weighs In on ND Nuclear Security-Linked Murder Case
Babcock miraculously survived after being shot 4 times and now she’s sharing her story. Breijo, a full-time U.S. Air Force veteran like Van Pelt, was a part-time Airman at the time of the shooting. Breijo has pleaded not guilty and awaits a scheduled October 2025 trial. The two lawmen, Breijo and Van Pelt, even served together on a North Dakota drug task force. Further complicating matters, Breijo’s criminal charges have been reduced, upsetting Babcock. These reduced charges correlate to a recent failed North Dakota Attorney General led effort to toughen incarceration standards in the Peace Garden state. That legislative battle pitted Attorney General Drew Wrigley against North Dakota’s head of prisons, Colby Braun. Underpinning this fascinating murder case are themes that include betrayal, military secrets, police malfeasance, and even disputed rumors of a love triangle. Porfido helps BEK News unpack the complex legalities for viewers in this eye-opening episode.
