I noticed on my sample ballot that I got from the Board of Elections that two Court of Special Appeals judges (Deborah Eyler and Robert Zarnoch) are up for a vote. Does anyone know anything about these two judges, and do they deserve to remain in office?
The body found shot dead on his porch in Waverly has been identified.
And yes, this is the same area where an anti-drugdealing activist was firebombed out of the neighborhood by a gang last year.
The Sun article has been corrected and states that Whitaker is likely receiving TWENTY-five years, not FIVE.
