Minnesota Man Convicted In Death Of UW-Stout Student

A Dunn County jury has convicted a Minnesota man of battery in the 2016 death of a U-W Stout student from Saudi Arabia but acquitted him on a more serious murder charge. Prosecutors say Cullen M. Osburn of Minneapolis is scheduled to be sentenced on July 13th in the death of Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, a junior majoring in business administration at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.The jury on Tuesday found Osburn guilty of aggravated battery with intent to cause bodily harm, but not guilty of felony murder. Prosecutors say Osburn was angry that his girlfriend wasn’t answering his phone calls and that he punched a stranger, Alnahdi, in the face outside a Menomonie pizzeria on October 30th, 2016. Alnahdi died the next day at a hospital. Osburn has denied punching Alnahdi and says he wants a retrial.
