The prosecutor assigned to a weapons case against defendant Brian Paylor elected not to offer a plea on Feb. 10 due to discovery including “ghost gun,” he said.
The gun involved in the case did not have a serial number, the prosecutor informed Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn, expressing his desire to move forward with a trial.
Defense attorney Latoya Francis-Williams said she was also ready to begin trial on Friday in the case against the 52-year-old defendant.
Paylor is charged with two counts of firearm possession with a felony conviction, two counts of illegally possessing a regulated firearm, two counts of possessing a firearm with a drug conviction, discharging firearms, and illegal possession of ammunition in connection with an incident that occurred on Sept. 10, 2022.
Judge Phinn assigned counsels to appear before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Lynn Stewart Mays to hear a suppression motion Friday afternoon, and they will begin trial on Monday, Feb. 13.
