PORTLAND, Maine — A New Hampshire man convicted of strangling his fiancee in her Maine home has asked a judge to grant him a new trial based on “newly discovered evidence.”
An attorney for Jason Twardus filed a motion Tuesday in York County Superior Court saying the state failed to provide his client with evidence in a timely fashion that another man may have killed Kelly Gorham in 2007.
Twardus, of Rochester, N.H., was sentenced to 38 years in prison in August for killing the 30-year-old nursing student in her Alfred home. Her body was found a month later.
The Portland Press Herald reports that Twardus’ lawyer says the new evidence is based on a jailhouse statement by another man.
Prosecutors say there was no effort to withhold any evidence.
Of course he wants a new trial.
And people in Hell want Slurpees®…
Here’s your answer, Jason; No.
You did the crime and now SHUT P AND DO THE TIME!!!
Makes sense to me. Why wouldn’t he want a new trial?
