It's My Snitch in a Box Dept: "The defense attorney in a Baltimore murder trial is accused of visiting the prosecution's main witness in jail over the weekend and trying to convince him to change his story, allegedly by asking him, "How does it feel to be a snitch? You know what happens to people when they snitch? They leave jail in a box."
"An argument between neighbors over their pit bulls ended in gunfire"
(Incident mapped by Spotcrime)
Also "Two people were shot and wounded in separate incidents this morning"
.. in happier news, July's homicides were (reportedly) the fewest since 2001! :)

Did you Know? The Library of Congress collects materials in virtually every format and representing all subject matter, with the exceptions of clinical medicine and technical agriculture (those subjects are collected by the National Library of Medicine and the National Agricultural Library.) Their holdings also do not overlap with the topic areas represented in the the library of William W. Smith.
I think I know where all of our commentators went yesterday-- they were typing on Meister's "Linden Liquors killer" post.
Speaking of Examiners, typo of the day from "Health Examiner" Dr. Delia Chiaramonte: "Controversy brews over prostrate testing." (Isn't is crazy how the "Examiners'" posts are mixed in with the news stories on the main page-- as if there was no difference between the two?!)

"Leslie Stein, 65, a defense attorney for 28 years, spent more than an hour on the witness stand yesterday as prosecutors sought to have him removed from the case"
Removed from the case? That Maurice Levy wannabe should be disbarred and prosecuted!
that attorney case is pure gold. more on that!!!
My favorite Examiner typo (OK, I guess it's not really a typo, but rather a malapropism) comes from the Traffic Examiner, Bernie Thomas:
"...Pickens seems to have emerged from the preverbal woodwork with an idea"
He has since corrected it (but not until after he got into an online shouting match with me). Those Examiners sure are defensive!
How in the hell is the murder of a 16 yr old during a robbery buried way down in the Sun's coverage?
