What the?! Did Mike Miller, president of the MD Senate, punch a man in the jaw?
Eric "Ericky C" Tate was arrested for shooting Anthony Taylor Jr., 20, and Adrian Holiday, 19, (196 & 197*) last Sunday on Lanvale Street. Police say Taylor was a member of the local Bloods and the shooting was related to a territorial dispute.
*Anne Linskey's number is right in the middle of my estimate, so let's just assume she's done her homework and go with what she says for the sake of simplicity for the time being, shall we?
William Deshields was arrested for shooting Angelo Stringfellow in 2001.
So stupid it's almost believable (almost): the Examiner reports that Baltimore City police officers shredded confidential files that were protected by a court order because the department ran out of folders.
A corrections officer testified yesterday that he saw a co-worker stomp on Raymond Smoot. Meanwhile, JZ (I think it was) reported last night that Smoot was a jailhouse informant who took advantage of his position to get extra food and make phone calls.
Death squad: we're not really sure what the three-drug cocktail does.
Mary Ann Saar: rehabilitation programs make prisons safer.
In Lanham, Christopher Kargbo pled guilty to manslaughter for his part in robbing and killing Dr. Thomas Gay in the driveway of his Mitchellville home.
Sun coverage of the Espinoza/Canela sentencing. Canela: "I didn't do any of this ... I, too, had dreams, and they've been taken away from me. I loved my cousins very much and everybody in my family. I would have given my life for them."
Rodricks: It's hard to feel diminished by the deaths of strangers.
Uh oh. A MD woman has died from spinach-related e. coli poisioning.

Its amazing that weener Rodricks writes such drivel about strangers deaths and such; particularly when we have mad dog Americans going up in arms over civilian deaths in Iraq.
What Americans dying on the streets of America are not worth the mad dog cries as Iraqis dying on the streets of Iraq?
How is it he claims people can't get worked up about strangers in their own town dying but people can get worked up over strangers dying half way around the world?
I think we need to start showing the dead bodies ... blood, spatter, parts, everything like CNN and then maybe Americans will care about those dying in these here streets.
Yeah, I'm saying show the violence and maybe people here will complain and demand real solutions in the same manner they do for the people on the other side of the globe.
LIFE magazine meets Baltimore Crime.
LIFE mag meets bmore crime would never happen. Not that it shouldn't. But as far as media(ium) is concerned, Iraq has world implications while Baltimore. . .not so much.
There is a great deal to be said about exposure, though. There is a a subsection of people (believe it or not) who won't even come into the city because of what they hear in the media. That's a shame. On the extreme side? You don't automatically get robbed or killed if you enter the city. That kind of fear is out there. And unrealistic. Increase your chances? Of course.
Maybe I need to become HoCoJohn.
HoJo, there are places I absolutely won't go in HoCo, particularly parts of idyllic Columbia, so I guess that's fair. Plus I understand having children changes things a bit. Had you lived in the city and then left for a reason?
HoCoJohn? Are you kidding, you love this town!
Baltimore City not = town.
Baltimore City = penal colony.
Ok then, you love this penal colony.
