The Court of Appeals has issued Vernon Evans a stay of execution. Meanwhile, more details about the murders.
Bad apples don't fall far from the tree Dept.: Rose Peterson, an officer at Central Booking, is charged with assault and witness intimidation for threatening a witness in the first-degree murder case against her son, Anthony Dickson. Dickson is accused of fatally shooting Ronny "Butch" Antoine Martin in the back seat of a Dodge parked in the Southern District on January 1. The witnesses' identities were withheld from the charging documents in an attempt to prevent tampering and intimidation, but that feeble effort was, apparently, no match for a mother's love. Dickson is scheduled to be arraigned February 23.
Oh, Sheila. Sounds like the City Council President violated a city ethics law when she used a council committee hearing to pressure a city contractor to award more work to the firm that employs her sister.
The BCGJ indicted Mathaddues Rozier, 25, for two counts of first-degree murder. Court documents allege that on December 27, 2005 Mathaddues Rozier shot and killed his father Alvester Rozier, 79, at their home on North Kenwood Avenue, and later that same day shot and killed Travis Harris, 15, in the 500 block of North Glover Street.
The trial of the Central Booking officers charged in the death of Raymond Smoot has been postponed until May 22.
A body was found on the lawn of a townhouse in Severn.
Baltimore's first dedicated domestic violence court opens today.
Here's the card trick and here's the story.
And here's more about the Harton/Magee case. Natasha started talking "gibberish," Harton opened the door and Natasha "just fell out." Yeah, like they say in Ape-town, whatever.
Internet hunting is really weird.

The State's not going to officially kill anyone until the Court of Appeals addresses the questions that have been raised about the lethal injection procedure in three separate appeals. The Evans stay is no surprise, sine two other death row inmates have already gotten their lethal injection challenges heard; they weren't going to halt the other two while Evans went forward. He also raises Paternoster, but that's essentially a dead issue. The lethal injection challenges -- whether it was adopted properly, whether it is administered properly, and whether it's cruel and unusual punishment -- will almost certainly fail, but since they've never been fully fleshed out before, it needs to be done.
Oh, I understand theprocedural issues. I just sometimes wonder if we might obtain speedier justice by sentencing him to death by old age.
"The latest allegations of witness intimidation involve an unusual suspect"
Nothing unusual here. In case no one's noticed, the inmates are running the asylum. ---Kevin
I have come to the complete and utter conclusion that Baltimore's tap water must have a mineral balance which, if consumed for many years, causes stupidity and insensitivity. Good thing i grew up in Pa and drink bottled water. it may not be spring water, but I'd rather drink well water that causes cancer than to drink city water that causes stupidity.
Actually, there are those who ascribe responsibility for our city's criminality to the lead in the water.
Well, Kev, I find it unusual, my mom wouldn't even write me a note to get out of gym-- "as long as women use cramps as an excuse we'll never have a female president." And now, looking back, I say that was good parenting. How's this guy ever going to learn to rough up his own snitches?
Wow. I'm speechless. The sun just put online a story about how a worksheet for 9 year-olds "describes how to do a card trick while telling the story of four people who rob a house and get away with it." A kid's mother's calls to the principal and school headquarters went unreturned until the media got involved. Their response: "We respect her sensitivities."
Yeah, when it comes to decadence, this place makes Sodom and Gomorrah look pretty darn good.
O dc, surely you jest! Too funny.
And I can't tell you how many people I talk to that have been treated for lead poisoning in this city. If you check out the symptoms of lead poisoning you'll see why it's quite possible that someone who had it might end up with legal problems.
But, I would never be so naive as to single out one reason for baltimore's crime issues. . .

Certainly not in a city where the lead story on Fox 5:30 news tonight is about the steps the city is going to take to crack down on illegal arrests. . .
