Lawyers seek faster trial in 1987 Westbrook cold-case murder
Original: Lawyers for man charged with 1987 Westbrook murder request speedier trial
Attorneys for a man charged with a 1987 murder in Westbrook, Maine have asked the court for a speedier trial. The case stems from a killing that went unsolved for decades before charges were brought. The defense's request could move the proceedings forward sooner than the current schedule, and it is drawing attention locally to one of the area's longest-running cold cases.
Why now: The cold-case arrest after nearly four decades is unusual and the defense's speedier-trial push adds new development to an active Maine case.
