A law firm was hired to represent an Adams County Children and Youth Services (ACCYS) employee “summoned to testify before” an investigating grand jury, a county official said.
The lies that sent Guy Gordon Marsh to prison emerged in 1987, the year his conviction was overturned and he was freed from a life sentence. In 2022, Marsh sought compensation for the years he was wrongfully imprisoned. Last week, a Maryland judge rejected that plea. But the sloppy ruling mangled both important and unimportant facts.
In 1987, the state of Maryland declared Guy Gordon Marsh had been wrongfully convicted of a 1971 murder and released him from prison because a key witness had committed perjury at Marsh s 1973 trial. Now he s seeking compensation for 14 years he spent in prison.
Adams County recorded $10,815 in general fund expenses for Adams County Children and Youth Services (ACCYS) grand jury representation, according to County Administrator Steve Nevada.
Adams County commissioners hired a law firm Wednesday to represent the chief information officer of the Information Technology Department for an “ongoing grand jury matter.”
