Pistol Evidence in Maryland Murder Trial
In Baltimore on February 2 a Czech .360 caliber pistol was admitted into evidence in the Thomas A Edwards murder trial. The State tied the weapon to the Sept. 20 discovery of two bodies near an Annapolis Road bean patch. Three .380 cartridges found near the scene and another two miles away were also discussed, with defense objecting to the later finds as evidence. Edwards, a 22-year-old Anne Arundel County resident, faced questions about treatment by police and his alleged possession of the weapon.
