The Court of Special Appeals confirmed Jovan House's first-degree murder conviction in the shooting death of police detective Thomas Gary Newman. Newman was shot nine times outside of Joe's Tavern in Dundalk in retaliation for testifying in a previous case against a defendant, Andre Travers, who shot him in the neck.
Theodore Bratis, 26, of Dundalk, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the Friday night stabbing death of Gregory Takacs, 20.
In the blotter, Dyron Hardnett, 27, was stabbed in the face but drove himself to the hospital, and a woman in Dundalk was shot in the face in a "domestic incident."
An officer in the North Point Precinct fatally mowed down a teenager on a bicycle.
Edward J. Stresewski, 32, of Baltimore was indicted in Stafford County VA for possession of burglary tools, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, conspiracy, two counts of fraudulent use of identification, attempted burglary and tampering with a vending machine.
Attn CV muggers: now that the hubub about the Ensler and Trinh murders has died down, Hopkins van service will now stop running at 10 p.m., effectively stranding any students caught out late at night. However, Captain George Kibler said, "If we've got a young lady out there by herself, we'll get her." Perhaps the Captain is unaware that statistically men are significantly more likely to be victims of violent crime than women, and more likely to be assaulted by strangers in public places. Or maybe he's just sexist.
Not only are skirts no good at being mugged, you can't even trust em with the laundry: Pamela Y. Hoffler-Riddick, 44, a mother of two and former edcation official who was employed in Baltimore, PG, MoCo and Virginia has pled guilty to five counts of money laundering for a $20 million drug ring. She faces 100 years, with time off for perfect makeup, flawless skin and a remorseful headshot to die for. Photo left, Bill O'Leary, WashPost.

the lowest violent crime large cities are:
The rankings of the ten biggest U.S. cities
1) San Diego -- 524 violent crimes per 100,000 and a total of 6,774
2) San Antonio -- 654 --Total 7,846
3) Phoenix -- 676 -- Total 9,465
4) New York -- 687 -- Total 55,688
5) Los Angeles -- 1,126 -- Total 42,786
6) Houston -- 1,173 -- Total 23,427

9) Philadelphia -- 1,393 -- Total 20,902
10) Detroit -- 1,657 -- Total 15,913
Baltimore had 11,667 violent crimes and a population of 634,279. The way I calculate it, that's a violent rate of 1,839, which would rank us last in the list, except that so many have fled Charm City that it doesn't qualify as a large city anymore.
We are twice as violent as L.A. and three times as violent as New York.
Harm City, indeed.
I'm pissed with these crappy, worthless politicians who talk the talk about crime reduction.
I just checked out the number of violent crimes in the suburb of NYC where I lived as a teen. About 2,500. Total. Is it some sleepy small town? Nope, it's twice the population of Baltimore City, which had 12,000 violent offenses. In other words, Long Island is TEN TIMES safer than here. Think about it.
Governor Ehrlich, please send the National Guard into Baltimore. Soon.
Duh, the Guard's in Iraq! I know, Duncan needs to hire me to consult on his campaign ads. We'd make Willie Horton look like Gary Coleman.
We found Theodore Bratis NOT GUILTY today. Even though I feel this guy is a bad person the States Attorney did not prove his case. I am going to try to live with my decision
