Daily Record, The (Baltimore), Aug 21, 2007

A state prison inmate charged with strangling another inmate aboard a Division of Correction bus will go on trial in May, a court has ordered. Kevin G. Johns, 24, who is already serving time for two murders, allegedly killed Philip Parker Jr., 20, aboard a bus that was taking inmates from Hagerstown to Baltimore on Feb.

2, 2005. Johns' trial will start May 5 in Harford County Circuit Court, according to a letter Judge Emory A. Plitt Jr. sent to lawyers Friday. Any pretrial motions will be heard Jan. 31. The trial originally was scheduled for July, but it was postponed by a dispute over whether the state could legally seek the death penalty for Johns if he is convicted.
