The State’s Attorney for Wicomico County issued a release today stating, “The Grand Jury for Wicomico County indicted Thomas Leggs, Jr. for the First Degree Murder of Sarah Foxwell, in addition to First Degree Burglary, Kidnapping, Kidnapping of a Child, and First and Second Degree Sexual Offense.” Leggs is currently being held without bond. According to the press release, “The State will file Notice of Intent to Seek the Death Penalty and the Notice of Intent To Seek Life Without Possibility of Parole before the end of February.”
I spoke with Sheriff Lewis of the Wicomico County Sheriff’s office earlier this afternoon and asked him about other victims of Leggs. Sheriff Lewis says, ”We have had many people call us with their own personal relationships or run ins with Thomas Leggs. We believe Thomas legs committed this alone. We will be seeking the death penalty. All he has to do is request a change of venue (regarding a courtroom), and a judge cannot deny him of that.”
