WINONA, Minn. – The judge in the Adam Fravel murder trial will allow video and audio news coverage of his sentencing next week. Family and friends of the murder victim, Maddi Kingsbury, asked for the news coverage  — a departure from their wanting and getting a ban on live coverage of Fravel’s trial. At sentencing the family and friends will have a forum to restate  their contempt for Fravel eyeball to eyeball – a final gesture before he goes off to prison for a mandatory life sentence. Fravel too will have an opportunity to make a final statement to Judge Nancy Buytendorp before she announces her sentence and explains her rationale on fine details.
