    Montana man accused of killing mom held on $1 million bail

    BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man accused of killing his mother with a kitchen knife pleaded not guilty to deliberate homicide Wednesday and had his bail set at $1 million.

    Beau Daniel Papin, 20, is accused of killing his mother at her apartment in Billings on Monday. A police statement had said they lived together, but Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Arielle Dean said Papin had been homeless and staying on people’s couches, the Billings Gazette reported.

    Public defender Natasha Hammack asked that bond be set at $500,000 because Papin could not afford any amount of bail and would likely remain behind bars.

    Dean recommended the $1 million bail and called Papin an “extreme threat to the community.”

    Standing Master Molly Rose Fehringer said the amount was appropriate given the nature of the allegations.

    In separate cases pending in Yellowstone County District Court, Papin is accused of assaulting a taxi driver after refusing to pay the fare and of swerving at an off-duty police officer who was trying to diffuse a conflict between him and a couple on a motorcycle who said Papin had been “trying to run them over for no apparent reason,” the Gazette reported.

    Papin also is accused of strangling his grandfather. In addition, he has five pending misdemeanors, Dean said.

    Montana man sentenced to state hospital for mother’s murder

    AP

    BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana judge sentenced a Billings man to 75 years custody of the state health department for the murder of his mother and other crimes.

    Judge Michael Moses sentenced Beau Daniel Papin, 21, in state district court on Friday, after declaring that the defendant who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia was in no condition to realize the severity of his crimes, The Billings Gazette reported.

    Papin was charged with deliberate homicide in the Jan 11, 2021 killing of his 41-year-old mother, Jessica. In August, he entered a plea acknowledging there was enough evidence to convict him but not admitting guilt.

    Papin also received five years to be served concurrently on charges of robbery and criminal endangerment, under a plea agreement between prosecutors and the defense. Nine other charges were dismissed.

    He will serve his sentence at the State Hospital in Warm Springs, Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said.

    The victim’s father, Robert Papin, said during Friday’s sentencing hearing that he and his wife had adopted the defendant when he was 8 years old.

    Robert Papin blamed his daughter’s death on “the demons that (Beau Papin) has had in his head since he was aged 14” and said they had forgiven him.
