Though the blood of Lillian Abramowicz Phelps was found on the bottom of a suspect's vehicle, prosecutors lack evidence that the man is responsible for her death, defense attorneys told jurors yesterday. The contention came during opening statements as the trial of Charles Eugene Burns, a 35-year-old laborer charged with first-degree murder, began in Harford County Circuit Court. Burns has been charged with sexually assaulting and attacking six other women, and linked as a possible suspect in the deaths of three others.
