http://www.wcnc.com/news/crime/new-trial-for-phylicia-barnes-murder-suspect_/259831755It's the third time that Michael Johnson has been tried for the murder of Phylicia Barnes.
On Wednesday, a Special Appeals Court overturned Johnson's acquittal. He has been tried twice for Barnes' murder; his first trial was dismissed, and the second ended in a hung jury.
For the fourth time, prosecutors will try and convict the man accused of killing Phylicia Barnes.
Michael Johnson . . . charged with second-degree murder and was convicted in 2013. The ruling was later dismissed after a judge said prosecutors withheld evidence.
Johnson was tried for the second time to only have it end in a mistrial.
A third conviction attempt never made it to trial, and the judge dropped all charges against Johnson.
The Maryland Court of Appeals would later overturn the judge's decision to drop charges, allowing prosecutors in Baltimore to try Johnson again.
His new trial is set for Friday, Dec. 2.
