I was wondering what had happened to the Warren Fleming case. I'm glad to hear that the thug in question may finally go to trial soon, although the Sun didn't say anything about the Federales seeking the death penalty, which the Balto County SA's office had initially been seeking.
BTW, any idea why Judge Souder's insane decision on fingerprints couldn't be appealed? She sounds like a judge who really needs to be smacked down by the Court of Appeals. (Or would it be the Court of Special Appeals? I know that most appeals go to them first, but DP cases go straight to the Court of Appeals. Does that apply to appeals of pre-trial rulings as well?)
BTW, Warren Fleming was murdered in January 2006 and the case still has not gone to trial. Imagine what that is like for his family. We have a terrible, anti-victim legal system that all Americans should be ashamed of.
According to this snippet Brian Rose is facing the death penalty after all. Good thing, I was going into capital-punishment withdrawal since the end of the Patrick Byers and "Special" trials.
Speaking of cases that have dragged on forever, what's going on with the two thugs who murdered MD House of Correction CO David McGuinn? It's been more than three years since that crime took place.
Fingerprints are basically voodoo, there's no actual science behind them.

Not true. Check out wiki's article on fingerprints and check out some of the articles they cite (I know wiki isn't a real source, but the article in question cites some legit scientific publications). Fingerprint ID standards could benefit from more study, standardization, etc, but they are not in the same league of voodoo BS as garbage like "behavioral profiling," polygraphs, etc.
