In a letter dated March 18, Ernest Douglas noted his appeal of a felonious shooting verdict handed down by a Rappahannock jury on January 5.
Douglas was found guilty of maliciously shooting Peter Marx in an incident which occurred near Washington in November, 1979.
In March, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson sentenced Douglas to 15 years in the penitentiary. At the conclusion of the sentencing hearing, Robertson relieved Dudley Payne. Douglas’ court-appointed attorney, of his position.
In response to Douglas’ notice of appeal, the judge has named Jud A. Fischel of Warrenton as counsel for the defendant.
Contacted this week, Fischel explained that he has 90 days from sentencing to perfect an actual appeal petition. Commonwealth's
