In Annapolis the Maryland Court of Appeals reversed 2 1st-degree murder convictions against Clarence Conyers Jr. in the killing of the woman and his alleged accomplice. The court ruled 5-2 that Conyers is entitled to a new trial because county prosecutors did not turn over evidence that might have helped the defense, as required by state law.
Conyers was sentenced to death by a Wicomico County jury in 1998 in the killing of Wanda Johnson on Oct. 21, 1994. The same jury sentenced Conyers to life without parole in the killing of his alleged accomplice, Lawrence M. Bradshaw, 22.
This is the 2nd time that the Court of Appeals has reversed the death penalty in the case. In 1997, the court ruled Conyers was wrongfully sentenced because prosecutors used inadmissible evidence of his juvenile arrest record.
