Trial likely in Atkinson Township swindle case

Just a few minutes before Traci Juntunen’s settlement hearing was set to begin at the Carlton County Courthouse Wednesday afternoon, Juntunen’s attorney John Lind asked prosecuting attorney Leslie Beiers for a few minutes of her time. As the two lawyers disappeared beyond a barrier at the back of the courtroom, 15 people waited in the audience, most of them residents of Atkinson Township who have followed her case since it began.
