YORK, Pa. (AP) - A defense attorney says a homicide defendant wouldn’t have killed a woman he had known for 17 years and who was letting him stay in her central Pennsylvania home.
Defense attorney Rick Robinson said it didn’t make sense that 34-year-old Bryan Brackbill Jr. would do such a thing because “You’re not going to bite off the hand, or hands, that feed you.”
Brackbill is on trial in York County in the death of 57-year-old Sandra Mulder, whose body was found in her home in June 2013, her hands and feet tied with duct tape. Missouri police arrested Brackbill the next day driving the victim’s car.
Investigators say Brackbill was homeless when he and his girlfriend moved in. Prosecutors allege that he committed the murder “in a fit of drunken rage,”
