Trial set for ND man accused of killing mother

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man accused of killing his mother and stealing her car is scheduled to stand trial in November.

The Bismarck Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/RSswlN) that the trial of Dean Grenstiner is set for Nov. 27 to 30 and Dec. 3 to 7 at the Burleigh County Courthouse in front of South Central District Judge David Reich.

Grenstiner has pleaded not guilty to beating his mother to death in her home last March. Authorities say Grenstiner was living with his mother, Ann Grenstiner, for several weeks before she was killed.

Grenstiner was also charged with stealing his mother's car. He was arrested in Moorhead, Minn., the day after his mother's body was discovered.

Grenstiner is being held without bond at the Burleigh County Detention Center.
