The trial of a man who worked for a wealthy Florida businessman accused of hunting illegally in Montana began Monday in Yellowstone County District Court.
Toby Lee Griffith is on trial for a single felony count of unlawful possession of a game animal. His trial before Judge Susan Watters is expected to last three days.
Griffith is one of eight people charged last year in what authorities said were extensive illegal hunting activities over several years on two large ranches in Yellowstone and Big Horn counties.
At the center of the charges is Mark Morse, the millionaire owner of an exclusive retirement community near Orlando. Morse and his wife are awaiting trial on several charges related to illegal hunting.
