a pillow at the head of his bed.  In the Chalflinches' apartment, police found a bloody knife blade, broken at both ends, with the inscription "R. H. Forschner" printed on it.  Brown's toolbox, seized by police from his apartment, contained a collection of knives bearing the inscription "R. H. Forschner."   According to the evidence developed at the federal evidentiary hearing, Forschner knives are rare, imported, professional chef's knives which Brown used in his work as a cook at the hotel.  Finally, the autopsy of Diane Chalflinch revealed Brown's distinctive silver ring underneath her liver.

In December 1980, Brown was tried and convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of both victims.  After a separate penalty phase, the jury returned with sentences of deathout, however, that David Martin was seen in Macon, Georgia, where he attended law school, during the time the murders could have taken place, and there is no reason to suspect that he was the perpetrator of these crimes.  Also, based on Pate's testimony at trial, the "Martin note" provides no support for a theory that a blond, long-haired man was the murderer.  On Monday afternoon, Pate saw a man jumping from a second-floor apartment that was at the opposite end of the complex from the Chalflinches' apartment.  Pate did not claim to have seen anyone jumping from the balcony of the Chalflinches' apartment, and the jury obviously disregarded the defense's theory at trial that the blond, long-haired man was involved in the crimes.
