Scott Wholaver Testifies Against Brother

On Wednesday Scott Wholaver testified against his brother Ernest. He gave a dramatic account that places Ernest Wholaver at the house the morning of the murders – dressed in dark clothing, gloves, and a ski mask.

Scott Wholaver struck a deal with prosecutors… he will plead guilty to three counts of third degree murder in exchange for testimony against his brother. The prosecution says Ernest Wholaver murdered his wife, Jean, and daughters, Victoria and Elizabeth on December 24th. Scott Wholaver’s attorney says Scott did ‘not’ know Ernest was going to kill his family… and he regrets what happened more than we’ll ever know. The district attorney’s office has not decided whether or not to seek the death penalty against Ernest Wholaver.

I endorse this lawyer’s work. I have known Tim for couple of years now, I see him at DUI seminars in different areas on the east coast. Tim is one of those lawyers that has a clear desire to sharpen his skills beyond other attorneys that fail to take advantage of continuing legal education. He is an excellent advocate on behalf of his clients.

- Attorney Bruce Robinson, Baltimore MD
