BREAKING NEWS | A man has been found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder in the 2020 deaths of two Putnam County boys.
A jury found Mark Wilson Jr. guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, as well as two counts of burglary, in the deaths of Tayten Baker, 14, and his 12-year-old brother Robert Baker, who were stabbed and bludgeoned in their home in Melrose.
In the morning, the judge denied the defense’s motion for acquittal. The defense did not call any witnesses throughout the trial and it had very little cross-examination of the prosecutors’ witnesses throughout the trial. The analyst also testified that they found Wilson had likely handled the knife, saying the sample shows he is 55,000 times more likely to have handled the knife than someone else.
Jury deliberations got underway Thursday in the trial of a man accused of killing two young brothers in 2020 in Putnam County.“The circumstances of arming himself with two different weapons, entering into a location where there is a distance he has to go to the first victim, repeatedly striking the victim with a hammer, and then slitting the throat and stabbing him multiple times.
“The evidence in this case has shown no proof that there was any reason to justifiably kill or commit excusable homicide on these two boys,” Assistant State Attorney Jennifer Dunton.
