Judge to hear new evidence in 1987 Easton murder case

EASTON, Md. (AP) - The attorneys for two men convicted of a 1987 slaying in Easton are asking for their clients’ murder convictions to be reversed because of new forensic evidence.

On Monday, a Talbot County judge agreed to hold an April hearing in the case of 46-year-old David R. Faulkner and 46-year-old Jonathan D. Smith. The prisoners’ attorneys say a previously unidentified bloody palm print found in the victim’s house was recently re-examined by state police and matched to Ty A. Brooks, a Maryland inmate incarcerated for similar burglary and assault crimes that took place in the area.
