Opening Statements in the Second-Degree Assault Trial of Baltimore Police Detective Terry Love & Baltimore County Deputy Sheriff Michael Herring Scheduled to Begin at 10AM TODAY
Baltimore, MD – April 2, 2009 – The second-degree assault trial Terry W. Love, Jr., 31, of Baltimore and Michael Herring, 36, of Towson is scheduled to begin with opening statements at 10:00AM today before Judge George L. Russell, III, 420 Mitchell Courthouse, 110 N. Calvert Street.
The alleged incident occurred the morning of September 8, 2007 at the intersection of Belvedere Avenue and York Road and involves a 42-yr. old black male who was allegedly beaten and left unconscious in the road. Second-degree assault carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s office filed a criminal information charging Love and Herring September 5, 2008 following a joint law enforcement investigation. A criminal information is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by a criminal information is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at a later criminal proceeding.
General Trial Division Chief Lawrence Doan and Assistant State’s Attorney Michelle Martin will prosecute this case.

I believe investigative voice is reporting yesterday that the prosecutor has dropped all charges in this bizarre case. Normal, rational people wonder what the heck is going on.
Even though i am semi-educated in the workings of the law, I had trouble following the case, and all the implied mini-conspricacies semi-reported on.
The charges involving brass knuckles were dropped. However, the officers are still charged with second-degree assault.
thnx Luke
If Love is that short black cop than he deserved much worse. He is a real piece of filth
