Mark Edgington spent eight years in prison for a second-degree murder charge in connection with the beating and strangulation death of a motel manager in 1989
Republican Mark Edgington, 53, told the New Hampshire Bulletin last week that he had hoped voters would look past his 1989 second-degree murder conviction, but that it becoming public had caused him and his family distress.
“When I embarked on this, I expected fair, respectful treatment by the press and my party, and to serve my constituents,” Edgington said.
Edgington was 18 years old when he pleaded “no contest” in Florida to a second-degree murder charge in connection with the beating and strangulation death of a motel manager.
He maintains his innocence and told the Bulletin that he was hiding in the motel bathroom during the killing was carried out by a friend.
“I am disappointed to see members of our party pander to the liberal media and feign outrage without giving the candidate the dignity of so much as a phone call,” Osborne told the Bulletin.
On Friday, the New Hampshire Republican Party issued a statement endorsing Edgington’s opponents.
