The So-Called Trial of the Century

By Stephen DeLuca

From the Highbridge Morning Star: Opening arguments are expected today in the long-awaited trial of alleged murderer, Mark Pitt, who is accused of killing his live-in girlfriend, Evelyn Averdantis, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Averdantis. Judge Abner Tuilgy will preside. Representing the defendant, who is a well-regarded artist, will be Dick Bright of the public defender's office. Heading up the prosecution team is Ambrose Wynn, well-known Assistant District Attorney and husband of nightclub singer, Lynn Maguire. Pitt faces the possibility of life in prison, if convicted. Pitt has steadfastly maintained his innocence throughout the investigation and pleaded not guilty at his hearing. Police and the prosecution have made no statement regarding the means by which Pitt may have dispatched Miss Averdantis. However it came out in Grand Jury testimony that Pitt cannot account for his whereabouts at the victim's time of death. The victim was found nude in the bathtub of the loft she shared with Pitt.
