Description:

La Plata, Maryland criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with first-degree murder and rape

"In 1979, Vickie Lynn Belk was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and shot to death. Belk, a 28-year-old mother, worked in D.C. and was a resident of Suitland, but her body was discovered miles away in the area of Metropolitan Church Road and Route 227 in Charles County, the sheriff's office said.

More than 40 years later, DNA evidence finally linked Andre Taylor to Belk's murder, prosecutors say."

In 2022, members of the Charles County Sheriff's Office Forensic Science Section were tipped off to a new DNA match that tied Belk to Taylor, and the investigation heated up.

Outcome: Defendant was found guilty.
