Circuit vacated Nicholas Slatten's first-degree-murder conviction and remanded him for a new trial, affirmed Paul Slough's, Dustin Heard's, and all but one of Evan Liberty's convictions, and remanded those three for resentencing after finding their mandatory 30-year firearms terms unconstitutional as applied.
