Judge Sets Date for Double Homicide Defendant’s Trial

On Sept. 14, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn scheduled a double homicide defendant’s trial for Dec. 13, because that’s when a medical examiner will be available to testify.

Devon Young has been charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, possession of a firearm with a felony conviction and firearm use in a felony violent crime. Young, 23, has been denied bail. 

The defendant was unable to attend trial because he did not have access to Zoom, so Judge Phinn waived his appearance. He was represented by David Walsh-Little.
