Lawyer: Defendant stabbed himself just before trial for sex crimes against runaway
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man stabbed himself just before he was to go on trial Monday for sex crimes against a runaway who said she was secretly hidden in his home for a decade, his lawyer said.
Thomas John Hose, 49, was hospitalized Monday morning after he was found bleeding in his home, defense attorney Jim Ecker said.
"He stabbed himself several times and he supposedly took some kind of medication," Ecker said before a judge issued a gag order in the case. He said he received a call from Hose's mother earlier Monday saying Hose was "sitting on a chair with blood coming out of him."
