The Trial of Malik Kearney

In August of 2018, Malik Kearney's trial began in Federal Court in Baltimore. He was charged with interstate travel for the purpose of domestic violence resulting in death. Prosecutors wanted jurors to see him as a soulless executioner who took Carlin's life because she wanted to divorce him and endangered his baby daughter by leaving her in her dead mother's arms. The government showed jurors their digital evidence. There was a tremendous amount of electronic data including text messages and photos that she shared with Mr. Kearney. And critical correspondence about what they said was the murder weapon.
