A Columbia man was sentenced to 70 years after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder before the conclusion of his retrial.
The retrial of a Columbia man previously convicted of first-degree murder came to an abrupt end on Monday when the man pleaded guilty to first-degree murder at Howard County Circuit Court. The sixth day of the retrial was set to get underway, when prosecutors and the defense attorney announced that a plea agreement had been reached. That was when Antajuan Lawntee Wilson, 23, pleaded guilty to the 2008 Wilde Lake murder he was previously convicted of in December of 2008, according to Wayne Kirwan, spokesperson for the Howard County state's attorney's office.

Defense says shooting of Bryan Adams is not first-degree murder during retrial of Antajuan Lawntee Wilson.

Antajuan Wilson was convicted of the murder of a Columbia man in 2008, but a higher court ordered a retrial after an error.
A Columbia man convicted of a 2008 Wilde Lake murder will be retried beginning this week. Antajuan Lawntee Wilson, 23, of Columbia, was convicted of the first-degree murder of Bryan Antoine Adams Jr., 20, who was shot to death outside the Wilde Lake Village Center in April of 2008. However, the conviction was overturned after Maryland's highest appellate court ruled the jury instruction in the trial was insufficient, according to Explore Howard. The court ruled the jury was not instructed to take into account that Wilson may have been in a "kill-or-be-killed situation" and could have been acting in "imperfect self-defense", which is grounds for a reduced sentence, according to the report. Wilson has been held in prison since his 2008 …
