Judge Halverson’s husband pleads not guilty to attempted murder charges
Edward Halverson, husband of embattled District Judge Elizabeth Halverson, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges this morning in District Court.
Halverson, 49, was indicted last week on charges of attempting to murder his wife.
Authorities said he struck Elizabeth Halverson in the head with a cast iron skillet during a fight at the couples' home.
Elizabeth Halverson spent more than two weeks in the hospital and had more than 100 staples inserted into her head to help heal deep cuts.
Edward Halverson is scheduled to go to trial on Dec. 1.
