EBENSBURG, Pa. (AP) - A judge has denied a defense bid to toss out evidence in the trial of a man charged in the stabbing death of his estranged girlfriend at a western Pennsylvania car wash.

Twenty-one-year-old Demetrius Gibson of Johnstown is charged in the Aug. 6 slaying of 21-year-old Elizabeth Ann Miller in the parking lot of the Dollar Car Wash in Johnstown’s Moxham neighborhood.

The (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat (https://bit.ly/QI12jl ) reports that the defense challenged evidence obtained in searches of an apartment and a vehicle as well as DNA samples, a photo identification lineup and electronic tracing.



The judge did order all DNA evidence as well as a video surveillance tape turned over to the defense. He hasn’t ruled on a request to move the trial or choose a jury from another area.
