A Gaithersburg man linked to the MS-13 gang and convicted of fatally stabbing one man and trying to kill another in 2006 will get a new trial.

Eduardo Escobar Martinez was convicted by a Prince George’s County Circuit Court jury of stabbing two people with a screwdriver in Langley Park and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. At trial, defense attorneys were prohibited from questioning the surviving victim, Santos Lorenzo Mejicanos, about his potential bias and incentive to help prosecutors.
