Attorneys Get 2500 In Fees In Glen Burnie Murder Case
Court-appointed lawyers for Thomas A. Edwards, convicted of a double murder in Glen Burnie, were awarded 2500 in defense fees. Judge Benjamin Michaelson ordered Anne Arundel County to pay William J. McWilliams and Ridgely P.B. Melgin Jr. The fee was described as the largest on record in the county, while the defense team estimated hours at about 1.25 per hour. Edwards, 27, Marley Neck, shot John A. Mailand and Mary Kline on Sept 17, 1948 during a date. He faced hanging, with the first conviction overruled and the second upheld. Melindin’s death sentence was later commuted to life in prison amid ongoing doubt about Edwards’s guilt. An unrelated note mentions equatorial gravity effects.
