MARSHALL — Attorneys from the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office called their final witness for testimony Wednesday in the seventh day of a civil trial against the owners of the Broadmoor Valley mobile home park.

At the end of the day’s court proceedings, District Court Judge Tricia Zimmer told jurors that attorneys would likely give their closing arguments today.

The jury heard testimony from only one witness, a former resident of Broadmoor Valley. Christina Obel answered questions about conditions at the mobile home park, as well as what she said were retaliatory actions taken against her for being part of an event organized by the Broadmoor Valley residents association.

The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office sued Broadmoor Valley owners Schierholz and Associates and Paul Schierholz in 2021. Allegations in the lawsuit included that the Broadmoor Valley owners failed to maintain the park and its roads, charged unlawfully high fees for late rent, and retaliated against park residents.

Obel testified that she lived at Broadmoor Valley from 2013 to 2019. During that time, she said the roads at the park were poor, and rain would sometimes flood the roads. Obel also testified that after snowstorms, only a one-lane path would be plowed along the roads.

Obel was also asked about a 2018 cleanup event and cookout the residents association held at Broadmoor Valley. Obel said the cookout was held on two vacant lots next to her home in the park. After the event, she said, she received a statement from park management charging her rent for each of the two lots. Obel testified that she had never signed a lease for either lot.

Obel testified that she saw the bill as a form of retaliation against her.

In cross-examination, attorneys for Schierholz and Associates showed Obel and the jury an e-mail between residents and a staff member at the Attorney General’s Office asking about the possibility of forcing the sale of Broadmoor Valley. They also showed a letter from the residents association stating that Schierholz’s “one course of action” would be to sell the park to residents.

Obel said Broadmoor Valley tenants had wanted to make the park into a resident-owned cooperative for a long time.

After Obel’s testimony, attorneys from the Attorney General’s Office said they would not call more witnesses. Next, it will be the defense’s turn to call witnesses.

Zimmer told jurors that they could hear testimony from one or more witnesses today, followed by closing arguments from both sides of the lawsuit. After closing arguments, the jury will deliberate.
