Miles Halverson sobbed and apologized to a Nelson courtroom Monday for ending Matty Reeder's life. Halverson, 54, pleaded guilty in September 2019 to manslaughter for killing 45-year-old Reeder with a single kick to the head in June 2018. The killing was a case of street violence that shocked the Kootenays. It was a spot Halverson had claimed as his own. A witness, Smyth said, recounted how Halverson told Reeder to move and then struck him with a "pretty terrifying kick."
