A felony perjury case against Rose Nelson, the former Morrill County assessor who was recalled from office last year, was dismissed Thursday in Morrill County Court for insufficient evidence.
Morrill County Court Judge Paul Wess issued an order tossing the Class IIIA felony charge against Nelson, ruling that prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to proceed to district court.
Nelson, 54, of Bridgeport, had been accused of lying under oath during her testimony in a 2022 civil land dispute case involving a disputed fence line on property tied to F2 Land & Cattle LLC, a company in which she held a partial ownership stake.The case, Bryan McKay and Jessica McKay v. F2 Land & Cattle, LLC, became a flashpoint in the public debate that led to her recall by voters in 2025.
