Convicted Massachusetts man challenges murder conviction in Bangor
BANGOR, Maine (WABI) – A motion hearing for a Massachusetts man convicted of murdering a man in Bangor held Wednesday morning.
F Daly was found guilty last July of fatally shooting 51-year-old Israel Lewis.
Lewis was killed in his apartment on Second Street in January of 2018.
Daly was sentenced to 42 years behind bars.
Wednesday’s hearing was to address the motion filed by the State to dismiss post-conviction review.
They are asking that counts be dismissed or clarified because they were too vague and not grounds for review.
Daly’s attorney says there was misconduct by the prosecution including ineffective assistance of council, and an issue of one witness being called to testify for the Grand Jury, but not during the trial.
After hearing further description of these points, the Judge requested follow-up documents from Daly his attorney for more specific details.
And the court is reviewing dates for a future hearing.
