A Howard County (Md.) judge has added five years to the life sentence being served by one of the men convicted in the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old girl. Scott Brill was sentenced last Tuesday after pleading guilty to a reckless endangerment charge. He was accused of setting fire to his jail cell hours after he was sentenced in the brutal slaying of Ashley Mason two years earlier in Columbia. At the time of the fire, Brill was locked up at the County Detention Center. He's now at the House of Correction Annex in Jessup. A second man, Frederick Moore, is also serving a life sentence for his role in the girl's murder. Mason had been stabbed 34 times and strangled. Prosecutors say the jail fire involved some degree of planning and was not a trivial act of mischief. But Brill's public defender says Brill did not intend to hurt anyone. |
