Meanwhile, Judge Stewart says Carl Lassiter deserves 15 years -- the first five without parole -- for a string of B&Es, none of which seemed to involve trying to mow down cops with moving vehicles. Perhaps the Honorable Judge Stewart could give the Honorable Judge Howard some tips on how to do his fucking job.
Corey Little and Devere Foster were convicted for selling smack in East Baltimore. (Smack? Do the cool kids still call it smack?)
On June 6, 2007 between 6:30 and 8:30AM at the corner of E. Lafayette and N. Caroline Streets covert police observed Ms. Foster and Little meet at the corner, stand together, and have a conversation. A short time later a vehicle pulled up, the occupants had a brief conversation with Little, and it then parked. A passenger got out approaching Little and officers observed money exchange for narcotics. Officers then heard the buyer call out to the parked vehicle “got it lets get high.” Police stopped the vehicle and recovered one gel capsule of heroin from the buyer/passenger. The stop was with in eyesight of the defendants and as a result the defendants walked out of the view of the arresting police.
When the police left the area Foster and Little then returned to the corner and again took up a position to sell narcotics. Another buyer approached Foster and Little. Little and the buyer engaged in conversation while Foster acted as lookout. The Covert officer observed US Currency exchange for Narcotics. Police were again called to stop the buyer and recovered one gel capsule of heroin. Little and Foster again observed the arrest. Little then left the view of the Officer by entering a narrow alley. Police followed Little and Foster and arrested them, recovering a snack chip bag inside of which contained seven gel capsules of heroin.
Two murder trials are scheduled to begin tomorrow: Korey Harris, who is accused of killing Christopher Wayman in the 2400 block of Seabury Rd. on April 19 of last year, and Keith Vaugh, who allegedly killed 16-year-old Antonio Brown on September 6 2006 after Brown allegedly ripped off Vaugh's moped. Because, you know, manly men totally kill over mopeds.
The murder trial for Lewis Rich began today. Rich is the guy accused of fatally stabbing Ernest Buchanan Jr. at a downtown McDonald's on April 26 of last year. It's a pretty fascinating story, and you should read it before the Sun decides to stick it in their archives where it will never again see the light of day.
A witness is actually taking the side of the cop(s) who shot and killed the knife-lunging man on Olympia Ave.
Someone stole 20 grand worth of medical supplies from Bayview, and a bunch of rain gutters were stolen from New Good Samaritan Baptist Church on Greenmount Ave.

This is one of the weirder crime stories I've heard in quite a while:
"Facing the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun on a dark West Baltimore street, Roland Scott fought back. He pulled out his own weapon - a fake handgun - and wrested the shotgun away from his attacker, city police said.
Scott ordered the man to strip naked in the middle of Laurens Street, took $800 from him and forced him to march into the laundry room of a nearby apartment building.
"He starts beating him, telling him to get more money, saying, 'Get me a cell phone or I'm going to kill you,'" said Sgt. Dennis M. Raftery Jr., a supervisor in the Police Department's homicide unit. "He is beating him with the butt of a sawed-off shotgun."
Raftery said the shotgun, then pointed at Scott, discharged, hitting Scott in the stomach and killing him. Authorities said his death will be ruled accidental."
Moral of the Roland Scott story: stop while you're ahead.
