How many are doing time? How many were found not guilty? How many had charges against them dropped? And who's the lucky bastard who got nine years, seven months, and five days dropped from his 10 year sentence?
(FYI, Ashley Harris' fetus didn't count as a murder victim. The murder conviction against David Lee Miller in March was the first time Maryland's fetal homicide law was used. Miller was convicted for killing Elizabeth Walters, who was about 32 weeks into her pregnancy.)

From what I understand the state's fetal homicide law only applies if the fetus would've been viable. Killing a woman who's two months pregnant for example only counts as one murder, not two.
Also, I can't help but wonder what sort of a mother a pregnant 19-year old who was hanging out at Club Choices would've made...
how many months pregnant was she?
Lets be honest for a second, these kids these days are crazy b/c they have no parneting (in most cases)..so i can only imagine how the kids of THESE teens will turn out! Lets face it, teens these days (most fo them) are stupid jackasses that dont know their left foot from their right foot! I guess she made the wrong "choice" about going to "Club Choices" when shes pregnant...its hilarious that the most popular club is called "Club Choices"..yea you can stab someone in there OR shoot them...youve got "Choices"...
*parenting* spell check
also..im not saying that she deserved that b/c NOBODY does! But lets be honest again, these teens like hanging in the rough and tough places b/c that feel "hard" and "respected"..well unfortunantly, sometimes you suffer for your "Choices"
Its a joke to say that those found not guilty "got away with it". A murder case is considered "closed" by the Baltimore City Police as soon as an arrest is made, regardless of the quality of the arrest. A conviction is not required to close a case, you know because of those crazy Baltimore juries. People are routinely arrested on the flimsiest of evidence. It is the rule, not the exception.
If you're around, Buz, is that true? Is a case considered closed even if there's a not guilty verdict? What if charges are dropped? Seems like an incentive for poor police work.
Two different questions:
Who do the homicide detectives think did it?
Who (didn't) the jury think did it?
Even if a jury concludes that Johnny is too nice a boy to do that, if his prints are on the gun I'd dearly hope that the police don't now attempt to pin it on someone else just because the jurors were feeling particularly magnanimous today.
