Nearly five years to the day after the killing, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court will hear the appeal of a Limington man’s murder conviction Thursday.
Bruce Akers of Limington was accused of murdering his neighbor, Douglas Flint, on June 9, 2016, and found guilty in January 2020 after an initial determination that he was incompetent to stand trial. He was eventually put on trial after treatment at the Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta.
