Man Convicted in 27 Year Old Rape Case at Waynesboro
A Circuit Court jury found 27 year old Barnhart guilty on the first count of rape after a trial detailing a June night when a 50 year old woman entered his auto. The verdict carried no capital punishment and a potential 20 year sentence. Judge McLaughlie ordered Barnhart held in the county jail pending sentencing. The woman testified she was frightened and could not seek help as the incident occurred in downtown Waynesboro and later at a farm, with Barnhart claiming they drove for a ride and had relations. State's Attorney Tom Kaylor pressed for a verdict of guilty on the indictment's three counts. The case included testimony about blood on clothing and Barnhart's written statement, which Basore of the Maryland State Police said did not corroborate the woman's account.
