Arndt Seeks Phone Access After 19 Months | Fargo News

Isaac Arndt, the teen accused in the August 2024 death of Jaelyn Walker, is facing first- and second-degree murder charges and has been locked down from communication for nearly 19 months—only allowed to talk to parents and his lawyer. But his defense just filed a motion to restore phone and texting privileges with friends and family, as long as they’re not on the state’s witness list. They argue 19 months of isolation is excessive, especially since all communications are already monitored and Arndt understands he can’t discuss case-related matters. No decision yet—court’s still reviewing—but with key hearings and trial dates looming, this could be a pivotal moment in his legal battle.
