Jury Begins Deliberation in Murder Trial of Homeless Man Accused of Killing Retired New Hampshire Couple

Prosecution alleges defendant Logan Clegg attempted to flee, while defense insists on innocence and faults police investigation; Jury to resume deliberations on Monday.

• Logan Clegg, a 27-year-old homeless man, is on trial for the murder of Stephen and Djeswende 'Wendy' Reid, a retired New Hampshire couple who were fatally shot multiple times while hiking near their Concord apartment in April 2022.
• Prosecutors allege that Clegg, who lived in a tent near the crime scene at the time, provided false information during the investigation, destroyed physical evidence, and attempted to flee, offering clear evidence of his guilt.
• Clegg was arrested in South Burlington, Vermont, with a one-way plane ticket to Berlin, Germany, a fake passport, and a gun in his backpack.
• The defense attorneys argue that Clegg is innocent, suggesting that the police investigation was flawed, speculative, and failed to consider all evidence and possible culprits. They claim that the shell casings and bullets found at the scene could not conclusively be linked to Clegg's gun.
• The prosecution and the defense also differed in their interpretation of an eyewitness account. The eyewitness, a woman walking her dogs, had seen a man on the trail after hearing gunshots but the defense asserts that her description of the man's clothing did not match Clegg's attire.
