This story is structured so poorly you have to read it more than once to figure out what's going on. But basically, the defense attorney for one of the McAbier firebombers plans to appeal the conviction, arguing that the case should have been brought by the state, not the Feds, because Edna was snitching to local police, not the FBI. Rod Rosenstein says that because drug trafficking was involved and trafficking is a federal crime, the venue was appropriate. Which, let's hope, may be a sign that the U.S. attorney's office is going to start going after more intimidation cases.
Sigh, another murder-suicide, or possibly a double homicide, this time in Glen Burnie.

This Harris-Knight appeal is about as ridiculous as their defense: that McAbier was responsible for her own attempted murder because she shouldn't have reported them to the police.
Hello? Baltimore ???
