A man convicted of the 1975 murder of a night watchman was back in Washington County Circuit Court on Monday seeking to have his conviction overturned due, in part, to improper jury instructions in his trial. Michael Keith Hines is serving a life sentence for the murder of Roy Rowland, whose body was found in the E.J. Fennel Co. building in Hagerstown on June 23, 1975, according to Hines' 1977 appeal to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. Rowland's body was discovered when firefighters responded to an alarm at the business where 14 separate fires had been set, the appellate ruling stated.
