While a trial date has yet to be set, the case against Darwin Giovany Bowman, 20, of Annandale, Loudoun’s Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman has stated that the case is continuing to move forward.

Bowman is accused of capital murder for the March 22, 2009 death of William Bennett of Potomac Station and the brutal attack on his wife Cynthia Bennett. The early morning attack on the couple while out jogging sent a shock through the upscale Lansdowne community. Over 800 local residents attended a community meeting to address the attack and over 100 attended a March 29, 2009 pre-dawn walk and vigil.

Bowman’s case was initially intended for scheduling July 11, but the case will return for further motions Aug. 11. The delay was caused by “procedural and discovery” issues, according to Plowman.

Another accused Lansdowne attacker, Jaime Ayala, 19, of Sterling, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge Feb. 9. He is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 22.

The Sheriff’s Office and Commonwealth’s Attorney have also stated that Anthony Roberts, 21, of Middleburg is a participant in the attack. While Roberts has not been charged with the Lansdowne attack, he is currently serving a prison sentence for a string of burglaries in Middleburg and Leesburg. The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office declined to speculate as to when charges would be brought.

I live 30 minutes from that area and have relatives that live in the same neighborhood. A robbery gone wrong just doesn't make sense. Whoever attacked them probably was in a vehicle (I don't care about the vehicle reported to the police. Witnesses are notoriously wrong in their descriptions). This is an affluent suburb of Washington, DC with no visible gang activity. To place this in perspective, there are a lot of 1/2 million dollar (well maybe not any more) homes in the area, very little crime, and I have never seen any public littering. The amount of money a jogger would have on them is usually minimal.

I did a quick look up of the crime rates for Loudoun County. For many of the recent years it is zero. The worst year I could find was 6. In 2000 there were only 44 robberies reported in the whole County. I suspect most of the property crime is committed by bored suburban neighborhood kids.

I just cannot see robbers (probably 2 or more) driving around looking to rob someone in that neighborhood and if they did, I find it even harder to believe that they would escalate to murder instead of driving away. I suspect there will be more to this story when all of the facts come out.

This Nigger needs to fry for these crimes!

Bowman’s lawyers are calling into question the DNA evidence against him according to a Washington Post article. Good luck chump; you have two accomplices and the wife to testify against you, your going to lose big time.

I wanna smoke Mr. Darwin Bowman with magnum force. Send that scum bag straight to hell.
