Defendant to take stand in fatal accident trial
Jurors heard that a Frederick man may have been within the speed limit before his pickup hit the Mitten family in Libertytown, killing 6 year old Robert Mitten Jr. and injuring his mother and sister. Matthew Culwell, 23, is expected to testify on Tuesday as the trial enters its final stages. A defense expert said Culwell was averaging about 50 mph before an emergency stop, contradicting a state expert who cited 65 mph. The defense failed to dismiss gross negligence charges, with manslaughter criteria still in contention.
