Keith D. Little’s fate might turn on a quarter-size stain on a glove. A Montgomery County Circuit Court jury could begin deliberating in the Suburban Hospital maintenance worker’s first-degree murder trial as early as Tuesday, but jurors won’t be considering what prosecutors consider some of their strongest evidence.
Forensic biologist Erin Farr testified Monday that DNA from Little’s supervisor, 40-year-old Roosevelt Brockington Jr., was on the exterior of a glove recovered from the basement boiler room where he was stabbed more than 70 times. But Farr was not permitted to tell jurors that the brown stain on the wrist area was blood.
