Murder trial in Nance case ends in mistrial amid inflammatory testimony
In Frederick County Circuit Court a mistrial was declared in the murder case of John Nance after a state witness made an inflammatory remark quoting a line about “Friends who chill together, kill together.” The judge cited the remark as so inflammatory it forced the mistrial, with a retrial unlikely in the same county. Prosecutors accuse Nance of tossing Adrian Pilkington from a Potomac River bridge after stabbing him. co-defendant Jason Jensen has been convicted, awaiting sentencing. Medical examiner Dr. Margarita Korell testified death was homicide from drowning or blood loss, with details on wounds, blood, and Pilkington’s body as it decomposed after days in water.
