Well, now, actually the first killing was in alabama. I do not know how strong their case is though, however they would less likely to have the contention of too much publicity. Virginia has the fast tract thing that would get them to trial faster. I do not know if dc has a plus or not. And I think they are going to want the death penalty. We'll see. -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Salkin [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 8:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: which state will have the first trial? I'm guessing Maryland, as it's where the shootings started and ended, and where they were caught. It's also a state where the death penalty is under a moratorium so any defense attorney worth his salt would have the trial venue there. Probably not Alabama, that I can say with confidence.
