A Carroll County circuit judge declared a mistrial yesterday in an attempted murder case because defense attorneys played an illegally obtained tape recording in front of the jury.The tape -- a loud, angry phone conversation between Richard Seater "Scott" Craigie and his wife, Patricia -- was recorded last summer through the wall that divided the Craigies' apartment from the home of their landlords, Philip Stephen Malpas and Barbara Van Rossum.A few days later, Mr. Malpas was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to murder and related charges after Mr. Craigie was shot in the back during an argument about a dinette set Ms. Van Rossum was holding as collateral for an unpaid utility bill.

Craigie was shot last August."If [Mr. Malpas] had not taken the action he did that night, you'd probably be sitting here trying Mr. Craigie for murder," Mr. Hickman said.

The audit criticized the task force for sloppy recordkeeping, for allowing seized cars to become disabled and for losing track of thousands of dollars.
