CONCORD, N.H.—A man charged with shooting a New Hampshire couple to death on a hiking trail last year spent months hiding from police—but over a probation violation from Utah, not the killings—and an analysis of shell casings and bullets found in the area could not conclude that his gun fired the shots, his attorney said at the start of his trial Tuesday.
“They got the wrong man,” Caroline Smith said during opening statements in the trial of Logan Clegg in Concord. She said he had no connection to the couple and was not the killer.
