Tim Evers is 37

"The NAACP* said in court Monday that the Baltimore police department is guilty of a 'larger pattern' of illegally arresting residents."
"Baltimore lawyers said ... that arrests for "quality of life" crimes are not illegal; that the City State's Attorney decision not to prosecute some crimes does not mean those arrests were unlawful; and that using a performance-evaluation system for police officers based on the number of arrests is not unlawful."

"The ACLU also is suing the city and state over what the organizations call a 'gross violation of rights.' The groups say city police officers make 'illegal arrests' and then state jail officials mistreat people taken into custody at Baltimore's Central Booking and Intake Facility.

The lawsuit accuses the jail of conducting illegal strip searches and holding suspects beyond the statutory time limit of 24 hours."

Former Medical Student Mujtaba R. Jabbar, 25, was charged in the County with shooting salesman and aspiring ice skater Paul Schrum at that Owings Mills movie theater near the TJ Maxx.

Another one of those dead-baby stories. 24-year-old Florentine Olivera was charged with 2nd-degree murder.

A man named Carroll and his son Carroll are charged with "animal cruelty, selling contaminated meat and feeding garbage to swine" in (where else?) Carroll County.

*Meanwhile, NAACP HQ to GTF out of town!
Wonder if they're going to take Dorothy Parker with them?
We should give them that statue in front of the Train Station as a going-away present...!

keith worrell was shot the day after the 15 year old kid.

Police said there was no indication that the shootings were related.

where are you getting the information that the baby was born dead? if that's true, it's pretty insane that the woman would be charged with murder.

The article says "The newborn was deceased at the time of discovery."
I guess that doesn't mean born dead.

i found a better article

"The baby's body has been sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore where it will take at least a week to determine the cause of death, said Somerset County State's Attorney Kristy Hickman. Stillbirth has been ruled out, she said.

"Our investigation so far shows the baby was alive when it was born," Hickman said."


also, the lady lives on "Imaginary Lane"

The NAACP leaving Baltimore? Goodbye and good riddance. As an organization, the last time it was remotely effective for people in the country was under Clarence Mitchell anyway.
