Murder for hire opening statements heard in Perry trial
In Rockville, the Perry murder-for-hire trial opened with James Edward Perry facing a new trial after an appeal over a taped conversation. Prosecutors described Perry as a contract killer and fall guy in the 1993 murders of Mildred Horn and Janie Saunders, and the case tied to a $17 million trust. The state seeks the death penalty again, while defense argues missteps and a convoluted setup by Horn and his cousin.
