Supreme Court Grants New Trial to Former Police Chief

“Former County Prosecutor Jennifer Lowrie (smiling below) was the first person to arrive at the scene of the shooting which occurred at the Huber household Oct. 28, 2007. She admitted to law enforcement that night that she and the then Police Chief Ken Huber had been having an affair. She also said Pam Huber knew about the relationship.”

Accidents with a firearm are common among cowards with badge's whom murder their wives in cold blood. Former Chief of Police Ken Huber, also a weapons expert and instructor at the time "his gun discharged" won the right to a new trial. Last week, the South Dakota Supreme Court ruled that during the murder trial of Pam Huber, the circuit court judge did not allow experts to testify Huber's gun "could have discharged by accident while he was attempting to secure a lock on the weapon." He claims it went off and struck his wife Pam Huber in the head.

The 2007, criminal complaint against Ken Huber showed that after dialing 911, he called the then County Prosecutor Jennifer Lowrie, whom admitted in the complaint to having had a sexual affair with Ken Huber. She arrived at the scene before law enforcement or EMS personnel, walked through the crime scene and was handed the phone to talk to the 911 operator, per the court documents.

Pam Huber (pictured above) died from her injuries on Friday November 2, 2007. She does not have the opportunity to file and appeal for a new trial. After the shooting a protection order alleged that former Miller and Highmore Police Chief Ken Huber walked into a bedroom where his wife and 11 year-old daughter were laying in bed and shot Pam Huber in the head.

Family attorney Matt Theophilus says, "He approached her in bed and shot her one time through the forehead, daughter unfortunately awoke to the sound of the gun shot and saw her mother terribly injured and bleeding and saw her father leaving the room with a gun in his hand."

In 2007, Matt Theophilus was the attorney representing the Huber's 11 and 12 year old daughters, and Pam Huber's son. The three filed a protection order against Ken Huber because he has not been arrested immediately following the shooting of their mother. Theophilus says, "Their concern is what will he do in the future." That concern comes because of what they say Ken Huber has done in the past. The protection order says Huber has physically and emotionally abused Pam Huber for at least 10 years, but she never reported it. Theophilus says, "She has never felt able to report this for fear of reprecussions given his positions as chief of police."

If Pam Huber had the opportunity, prior to her murder, to prepare a "Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit" and video as prescribed in the book "Time's Up," there would be no opportunity for the supreme court to grant a new trial. Pam's words and testimony, from her grave, would have been sufficient.

It is up to you and I to sound the sirens for justice to those married to law enforcement officers whom fight to the end, silenced by a system where the brotherhood of the badge continues to send innocent women to their graves.

The book "Time's Up A Guide on How To Survive and Abusive and Stalking Relationship" is the prescription if you will, that every person must obtain before they announce they are leaving. Below is an example from Chapter 4, one of many unique tools provided in the book. It is available on Amazon.com, we can send it to you via e-book or on a cd.

"Murder Behind The Badge"

As a former police officers daughter, I know firsthand the fear and trauma associated in living with a man that used his badge, ultimately committing murder. In the 5th grade our class was given an assignment to write a poem about our lives. I wrote:

This man who drinks and carries a gun, each night he’d come home it would be no fun.

That badge, that gun, we have no place to run.

In my 20 years advocating police perpetrated homicide the horrors of living with a violent abusive police officer, those committing unspeakable acts of murder were, until now, silently buried with the victims.

Finally, Author and former detective and Women In Crime Ink Contributor Stacy Dittrich has written Murder Behind the Badge profiling police officers who kill for love and money, to the ones who kill over simple personnel complaints; included among other are the stories of Drew Peterson, Bobby Cutts, Ken Dekleine, Richard DiGuglielmo, and Lawrencia Bambenek.
These are stories of the men and women who abused their power, took human life, and will forever pay the consequence.

This book is a must read for police officers entering the academy to criminal justice students and those whom desire the truth within the "blue world."

Murder Behind The Badge is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com

Ken Huber Police Chief on Trial For Murder

Ken Huber, 42, is the former Chief of Police charged with the murder of his wife Pam Huber on October 28, 2007 (pictured above the prison stripes is a photo taken at the time of his arrest the other was taken just today as jury selection began in his trial for the murder of his wife, Pam.

This cowdly, tin, badge Chief, charged with first-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, shot his wife Pam, once in the head with a .40-caliber pistol on Oct. 28, 2007, in their Highmore South Dakota home while her 11-year-old daughter slept next to her.

A criminal complaint obtained in October of 2007, outlined a series of complicated relationships including an affair between Ken Huber and a Hyde County State's Attorney by the name of Jennifer Lowrie that ultimately led to a conflict of interest in the case.

It should come as no surprise Ken was an abuser of physical and emotional abuse.

The night of the murder, according to the complaint, Jennifer Lowrie spoke with her "lover" Ken Huber about 10 p.m., for about 50 minutes on Oct. 28, 2007, on the night of the shooting.

Ken Huber waited until midnight and then the coward called 911 and reported that his wife had been accidentally shot while he had been moving a gun.

How can a trained expert in Glock guns and Chief of Police use the excuse "accidental shooting" as a defense? Basically, Huber is a coward.

Jury selection began today. It is likely Ken Huber will rot in a jail cell, as he should for the murder of Pan Huber.
