Tim Huber at Murder Trial: Tim Larson Called Me 'Stupid Idiot'

Prosecutors showed video of Tim Huber's initial interview with a detective about the 2011 shooting death of Albertville resident Tim Larson.

In a Kandiyohi County District courtroom Friday, the West Central Tribune reported that defendant Tim Huber said on video that Albertville resident Tim Larson had spoken to him in a “real harsh, real tough, real mean” way the night before Huber's father, Delbert, shot Larson dead in 2011 on property belonging to Larson's father, Norman.

Friday was the second day of testimony in Tim Huber's murder trial, ending the trial's first week in Willmar.

The West Central Tribune has a detailed description of two videos the jury saw Friday—one of deputies' response to Delbert Huber's 911 call and the second showing Tim Huber's initial interview with a sheriff's detective:

Prosecutors played a 10-second video clip, which shows the Hubers moving about instead of standing still with their hands up for the arriving officers. ...

“I didn’t expect someone to break out in violence,” Huber told [Detective Kent] Bauman during the interview. ... The younger Huber also said during the interview that Tim Larson called him a “stupid, retarded idiot” or some words like that, during their conversation that evening before the shooting. During that conversation, as described by Huber in the video, Huber had criticized Larson for not putting a furnace in Norman Larson’s house. Huber claimed the younger Larson then said “it’s none of your business, you stupid idiot.”
