PARIS – A trial date will be set next week for the man accused of severely beating a Fryeburg doctor in her home last year.
David J. Mair, 30, most recently of Portland, was charged last summer with hitting Dr. Mary Nash with his fists and a wrench-like tool Sept. 15, 2004, in her Main Street home after she returned from a workout just after 7 a.m.
With cuts on her hands and head, Nash escaped to a neighbor’s house to call police.
Mair pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault, burglary and aggravated assault.
Oxford County Superior Court will schedule Mair’s trial Jan. 4, along with other pending cases.
Police say they have linked Mair’s DNA to a piece of evidence from the crime scene.
Mair is being held at the Oxford County Jail in Paris.
