US EditionThree Zizians face trial together in Maryland amid sprawling federal investigation
MARYLAND, JUL 9 – Three Zizians members face joint trial on trespassing, gun, and drug charges linked to six killings across three states, prosecutors said.
- Last Tuesday afternoon, Maryland approved a joint trial for three Zizians on trespassing, gun, and drug charges after a court hearing, despite defense concerns.
- A man’s tip about box trucks camping on private land led to February arrests of the Zizians for trespassing and gun possession, with a superseding indictment last month adding LSD charges.
- Federal prosecutors link the group to six killings across three states, with Zajko facing Vermont firearms charges related to a border patrol agent’s death and possessing hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
- The joint trial is expected to last at least two weeks, with prosecutors denying delays and defense claiming slow progress.
- Beyond the hearing, Zajko's lawyer claims delays aim to stop Vermont's death penalty case, with other jurisdictions involved in the broader federal probe.
