Douglas

Denied Bond

Called back into special session last Thursday, a Rappahannock grand jury returned a true bill against Ernest Lee Douglas for the malicious wounding of Peter Marx in an incident that occurred November 18, 1979, near Washington.

Prosecution of the case was delayed for almost a year and a half due to questions concerning Douglas’ capability to stand trial and his subsequent psychiatric examinations.

The charges against Douglas were nol prossed last March when Marx refused to appear in court to testify against his alleged assailant.

Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner reactivated the malicious wounding charges after Douglas, a resident of the Richmond area, returned to Rappahannock two weeks ago.

Douglas also is facing trespass charges for allegedly moving into Marx’s home upon his return to the county. (Marx is living in Northern Virginia and has a weekend cottage near Washington.)

In circuit court Friday morning. Judge Shore Robertson ordered Douglas held without bond until his trial, set for September 23 and 24.
