Russell man's manslaughter trial dates face possible changes

October 7, 2008

MARSHALL — The dates for a jury trial of Cory Buchert of Russell will likely change after a pre-trial hearing on Friday. Buchert is charged with manslaughter in the second degree and two counts of criminal vehicular homicide for the Sept. 3, 2007, death of Nicole Rathje. Rathje died from injuries from two incidents involving an all-terrain vehicle near Russell in which Buchert was the driver in at least one, the complaint alleges. Buchert left an injured Rathje outside his house while he showered, washed his clothes and went to sleep, the complaint alleges. Buchert did not contact law enforcement until the next morning when he found Rathje dead on the yard and then he called law enforcement, the complaint alleges. Buchert’s trial was scheduled to start Oct. 13 in Lyon County District Court in Marshall. Lyon County Attorney Rick Maes had asked for a continuance because a state medical examiner was not available when the jury trial was to start.
